You often hear people say that “they would rather have this type of pain than have a root canal”. This is how scared people are when it comes to root canals. Pain is an inevitable feeling and the fear of having a root canal gives people that unpleasant notion. But, root canals are the solution when you have an infection or severe decay on your teeth. Instead of having your tooth pulled out, your RCT dentist might offer you the option to do a root canal and save that tooth.
Having a root canal will definitely alleviate the pain you have been feeling that makes you agitated, restless, at most times affects your daily routines. Painful root canal is such a thing of the past. Endodontists or root canal professionals have intricately perfected this procedure and science and technology has gone a long way to be able to give you the utmost comfort when having this type of procedure. Go to your dentist immediately. Don’t just take pain relievers, because that will not fix your tooth. The problem will persist unless you get to a dental office and compose a plan with your dentist.
Your dentist will explain to you that a root canal is a type of dental procedure or treatment which is done to repair and save a tooth which has badly decayed or infected. A diagnostic x-ray often goes with it. During the root canal procedure, the nerve and pulp are removed by the use of endodontic files. The inside of the tooth is then cleaned with antibacterial agents and sealed with root canal cement. Without root canal treatment, the tissue surrounding the tooth will become infected and an abscess may be formed on the bone area.
