The common perception of a root canal (RCT) is that it is a painful and extremely uncomfortable procedure. We intend to dispel the inaccurate perceptions and myths surrounding RCT. Over the years, modern pain-free techniques have been developed and used by our Dentists to preserve teeth while ensuring patient comfort.
At Dentalpro, saving your natural teeth whenever possible is always the first option. But when tooth decay or trauma strikes, a modern root canal (RCT) is often the solution. RCT is about fixing pain and preserving your teeth for a beautiful smile.
Let us shed some light on the truth about root canals:
Myth #1: It's painful and agonizing!
Reality: Modern anesthetics make the procedure virtually painless. Think gentle pressure and buzzing, not excruciating drilling. Apart from the standard local anesthetic, we also offer options like gas or oral sedation for extra comfort.
Myth #2: The procedure takes too long!
Reality: While the time can vary depending on the complexity, most root canals can be completed in one to two appointments.
Myth #3: It doesn't work!
Reality: Root canals have a success rate of over 95% when done by a skilled and experienced dentist. Your treated tooth can last for years with proper care.
How is RCT performed:
- The first step is diagnosis: We'll carefully examine your tooth and take X-rays to determine if a root canal is necessary.
- Numbing the area: Local anesthesia is administered to the area to be treated so that you won't feel a thing.
- Removing the inflamed pulp: We carefully access the tooth's interior and remove the infected tissue.
- Cleaning and disinfecting: The canals are meticulously cleaned and sterilized to prevent future infections.
- Sealing the deal: The tooth is filled and often crowned to restore its strength and function.
Other benefits :
- Root canals can actually relieve existing pain caused by the inflamed pulp. RCT saves the tooth and removes your pain.
- Even when the tooth structure had been compromised by decay, the root-treated tooth can be rebuilt with porcelain crown. This means that you not only be saving your tooth, but also getting a newly functional one that looks as good as a natural tooth.
Delaying a necessary root canal can worsen the problem and lead to tooth loss. If you're experiencing tooth pain, sensitivity, or swelling, see us for a checkup. A modern root canal might just be the key to a pain-free, healthy smile.
