Root Canal Treatment, or RCT, is thought to be something people fear, but in fact, it is quite the
opposite! In reality, RCT is the treatment we use to stop severe tooth pain and save a damaged
tooth from extraction.
Using advanced techniques and focusing on comfort, at Trusmile Dental Clinic, Chandkheda,
Ahmedabad, the procedure is often no more uncomfortable than getting a routine filling.
A tooth requires an RCT when the soft tissue inside the tooth, or pulp, becomes irreversibly
infected or inflamed. This is due to:
1. Deep Decay: A large untreated cavity extending into the pulp chamber.
2. Trauma: A fracture, chip or other injury to the tooth.
3. Repeated Procedures: Long-term, multiple dental work on the same tooth.
In cases of compromised pulp, the infection travels to the root tip and surrounding bone, leading
to the sharp pain that drives patients to search for the Best Dentist in Chandkheda.
The principle is simple: to eradicate the infection and maintain the tooth structure.
The procedure is usually accomplished in one or two visits:
1. Comfort is our number one priority
We start off by making sure the area is completely numb. With modern local anesthesia, the
whole procedure is performed with zero discomfort: you only feel the pressure, but do not feel
any pain.
2.Cleaning and Disinfection
Our dentist makes a tiny access in the crown of the tooth. Using specialized, flexible
instruments, we very carefully remove the infected pulp, nerves, and bacteria from the root
canals. This is the all-important step that removes the source of your pain.
3. Fill and Seal
Once the canals have been properly cleaned and disinfected, they are obturated or filled using a
biocompatible material; this is mostly gutta-percha. This prevents future bacteria from entering
the tooth.
4. Restoration: The Last Step
Because the tooth requiring RCT is usually fragile, the final and most important step in the
course of treatment is the placement of a Dental Crown over the treated tooth. The crown
safeguards the tooth against fracture and enables it to bear years of chewing and biting forces.
Root Canal Myths Busted! * Myth: Root canals are painful. * Fact: The procedure *relieves* the
severe pain caused by the infection. With anesthesia, the treatment itself is comfortable. * Myth:
It’s better to just extract the tooth. Fact: Nothing is better than your natural tooth! Saving your
