One of the most common dental treatments performed worldwide is Root Canal Treatment.
Using specialised instruments, dental infection is removed from the bottom of the tooth and it is then filled with dental cement to avoid further damage.
But, is there a - what’s next - to it?
Most people breathe out a sigh of relief once a root canal treatment is over. However, covering this tooth with an even stronger material is important - which albeit, many ignore.
The best time to conserve the tooth is right after root canal therapy with a dental crown (cap) that offers complete and long-lasting dental safety. If not, one might end up fracturing the tooth again, eventually running around with its pieces looking for a dentist - not to forget the excruciating pain that comes along with it.
Only in case of a serious dental infection with swelling, pain, or pus, complete conservation of a tooth is put on hold to allow some time for internal recovery.
In such cases, it is also advisable to avoid hard foods like cashews, walnuts, chicken, etc. to be on the safe side.
To ensure complete safety of the tooth and to avoid further damage of any kind, most dentists recommend that the cap must be placed within 3-6 days of complete Root Canal Treatment.
Although the pain caused by infection is alleviated right after the Root Canal Treatment, these important steps must not be ignored.
However, many people leave the treatment right after getting some relief from the pain, under the impression that it is all about treating the infection, without thinking of the repercussions if the crown is not placed.
