Root canal treatment is designed to destroy bacteria from the infected root canal, avert reinfection, and save the natural tooth. The root canal is carried out of the pulp of the tooth. Your endodontic dentist will diagnose the best tooth pulp infection treatment. The procedure might be nonsurgical root canal therapy removed by anti-biotics or surgical, which will be explained below.
A root canal is applied when the soft internal part of a tooth, known as the dental pulp, is wounded or becomes inflamed or infected. The tooth’s crown (the part you can see above your gums) can remain untouched even if the pulp is destroyed. Extracting injured or infected pulp is the most useful method to maintain the tooth’s structure. Common reasons for damage to the pulp include:
The most common signs of the injured pulp include pain in your tooth, a sensation of heat and swelling in your gum. Your Root canal treatment dentist will analyze the painful tooth and take X-rays to confirm the diagnosis. Your dentist might direct you to an endodontist if they consider you need a root canal.
• Continuously brush your teeth two times a day and floss daily.
• Try massaging your gums with your fingers slowly. Brushing your teeth wouldn’t remove the foods in your gums, and massaging take out the remained foods.
• Visit your dentist twice a year for normal checkups and cleans to control the situation of your teeth. Regular care avoids major breakdown.
• If your dentist diagnoses that your teeth are infected, or need a filling or any necessary procedure, immediately book an appointment to do the job. It could hurt other parts of your body. Take it seriously.
Great job! The root canal therapy procedure is completed. With the most demanding part out of the way, you can focus on aftercare and avert other problems down the line. Returning to the routine of brushing twice daily and flossing once is safe. Still, it’s good to be careful around sensitive sites and don’t floss near important sites.
If you’re experiencing little discomfort after your procedure, don’t worry, it’s normal for this to persist for a couple of days. If you feel that you can’t stand the discomfort, take pain relief. For a quick fix, try rinsing your mouth with warm saltwater. Otherwise, your dentist may suggest additional ways.
Avoid smoking at all for a couple of days. Smoking increases the risk of reinfection. Try to eat slight easy-to-chew foods which help your mouth cure faster.
