Dental Basics: Roots Of The Root Canal Treatment

Updated: Aug 6, 2021



Is tooth pain your constant companion? Does it arrive every time you’re happily enjoying an ice cream or taking a quick nap?


Tooth pain comes as a slight tingling sensation at times or can be a sharp, shooting pain, both indicating tooth decay.


The pain stemming from tooth decay remains as long as the infection is not removed. And sadly, this bottom-most infected part of the tooth cannot be cleaned using our regular toothbrushes.


Your escape from such constant tooth pain is a Root Canal Treatment aka RCT.


Interestingly, during a tooth root canal treatment, the tooth is “saved” instead of being “extracted” thus ensuring your smile stays intact.


However, damage of this stature needs an expert intervention - but with not just an ordinary dentist. Dental treatments like RCT are taken care of by the ENDODONTIST, masters at conserving the tooth till its last breath.


For RCT, endodontists rebuild the insides of the tooth using a biocompatible, strong material that stays intact for years to come. This is followed by a composite filling (tooth coloured). The treatment ends by placing a cap (dental crown) on the top - a crucial element in the whole process to safeguard the tooth.


It is recommended to avoid consuming food items that are hard, sticky, or sugary, especially like toffees, cakes, candies, Indian sweets, etc. after RCT. And in case these irresistible food items are consumed, it is important to brush or gargle right after eating to remove any residue that might harm the teeth.


One of the biggest mistakes that lead to RCT is consuming sugar and other practices mentioned above. And in case you are already experiencing such pain, you must seek an endodontist for immediate help to avoid the complete loss of a tooth.


When it comes to finding the right dentist for a Root Canal Treatment, MyDentalPlan Healthcare is a preferred choice that offers quality dental services and a PAN India presence with more than 4000 dentists specialising in various fields of dentistry.


Not only this, but My Dental Plan also offers specialised dental plans that make any treatment all the more affordable and services like online consultation with a dentist for instant solutions, or for second opinions.


Why live with pain and discomfort when solutions are just a call or an appointment away!
