When is a Root Canal Needed?
If you are feeling a nagging pain that does not go away even when you are doing nothing, this may indicate an infection. And it may be time to get checked for root canal. Some symptoms include:
- Facial swelling on the area of the infected tooth
- Dental abscesses
- Difficulty in opening the mouth, eating
- Discharge on the gum area
- Throbbing or pulsating toothache
- Great sensitivity to hot and cold
- Extreme pain when brushing
- Extreme pain on a previous root canal treatment – Root Canal Retreatment
The Root Canal Procedure
Here’s what you can expect on a day of root canal treatment.
- Evaluating the health of your root canal will determine the treatment plan. We will also discuss with you how the procedure will go. Your dentist will also give an estimate for your root canal treatment cost.
- Anesthetizing the tooth with local anesthesia to make the RCT as relatively painless as possible.
- Locating the canal for treatment using apex locators and microscopes.
- Irrigating is done to disinfect the tooth and remove the bacteria.
- Medicating the canal to completely eliminate the infection. If there is severe dental infection present, your dentist may need to place the medicament and then allow for a few days to let it completely subside.
- Sealing the tooth to protect against further infection
- Reinforcing the tooth and allowing for normal functions through restoration with a dental filling or tooth crown.
