Root canal hurts a lot:
Most people fear that a root canal treatment will give them sleepless
nights due to excruciating pain during and after the treatment. While
performing the procedure, your
dentist will numb the affected are with general anesthesia. In
case you are tensed about the treatment, you may require nitrous oxide for
sedation. This will eradicate any pain caused due to the procedure. If you
still experience pain, inform your dentist immediately. He may alter his technique
to avoid causing pain again.
After the treatment, I won’t experience any
pain:
Some individuals think that after the procedure is over, they won’t any
pain in and around the treated tooth. However, this is a sure shot lie. The
nerves surrounding the tooth may feel pressure and touch. After the procedure
you can have tenderness in the operated tooth for 2-3 days. You may be
prescribed pain killers like ibuprofen in order to minimize the discomfort.
Why do I need root canal if the tooth has to
be taken out sooner or later?
Because of its durability, root canal treatment is the preferred option
by most of the dentists in Delhi. It
can prolong the life of your teeth only if you maintain good dental health. To
preserve tooth decay, brush with fluoride toothpaste two times a day and floss
daily. Visit your dentist for regular checkups. Root canal treatment has saved many teeth
which were on their way of extraction.
If I don’t feel pain, I don’t need RCT:
It is a possibility that your tooth which needs treatment may not
experience any pain. However, that really does not mean that your tooth is
healthy. Initially, the infection in the tooth may not cause pain but if left
untreated the pain will eventually turn up causing the formation of abscess.
After a close examination of your tooth’s condition, if your dentist recommends
RCT, then get it done as soon as possible.
I don’t need to follow up the dentist after
the treatment:
After the root canal treatment, you may think you don’t need the help of
your dentist for a while. It is crucial for your dental health to follow up the
dentist.
