FAQS

Everything You Need To Know About Root Canal Treatment

Root canal treatment is a dental procedure designed to treat bacterial infections that affect the soft inner part of the tooth, called the pulp. It helps save the natural tooth by eliminating infection and preventing further damage.

You may require root canal treatment in the following cases:

  • Deep decay from untreated cavities
  • A chipped or cracked tooth
  • Injury or trauma to the tooth (even without visible cracks)
  • Discolored teeth due to internal infection
  • Advanced dental caries
  • As part of other dental treatments, such as preparing for a fixed dental bridge

The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, ensuring the area is numb. While you might feel slight discomfort, root canal treatment itself is not painful.

If left untreated, an infected tooth cannot heal on its own. The only alternative is extraction, which can lead to complications and impact your natural bite. Preserving your natural teeth is always recommended when possible.

To maintain a root canal-treated tooth and prevent reinfection, follow these tips:

  • Brush twice daily with fluoride toothpaste.
  • Floss at least once a day.
  • Rinse your mouth with water after eating.
  • Avoid sticky or hard foods, especially on the treated tooth.
  • Limit sugary snacks and avoid tobacco products.
  • Visit your dentist every 6 months for regular check-ups
