Find all the details about Root Canal Treatment

Posted by Riddhi Sharma on October 11th, 2019

A root canal treatment (RCT), also known as endodontic therapy, is a sequence of treatment used to repair and save a tooth that is badly infected or decayed. RCT is performed for removing the infection from inside of the tooth and is carried out in the pulp of a tooth or root canal. This treatment has necessarily to be performed when the parts within the tooth, such as pulp, housing the blood vessels, nerves, and connective tissues become inflamed or infected. Root canal treatment is virtually painless and leaves an individual in less discomfort. During a root canal treatment, the infected nerve and pulp are removed, and inside of the tooth is cleaned and sealed.

Root canal treatment in Delhi is performed by Dr. Gargi Kandhari at Dr. Kandhari's Skin & Dental Clinic. She provides all the main dental treatments like the fluoride treatment, dental filling, extractions, pulpectomy, space maintainer, lingual braces, ceramic braces, traditional braces, and many more. Dental decay, when left untreated, spreads into the tooth structure, reaching the pulp and nerve of the tooth and causes further damage.

The procedure of Root Canal Treatment:

The first step is the X-ray examination, which helps in determining the shape of the root canal and also helps in determining if there is any sign of infection in the bone. After this, the dentist will use local anesthesia, which is to comfort the patients so that the procedure can be performed with proper ease. Generally, to keep the area free of saliva, a rubber dam (a sheet of rubber) is placed near to the tooth. A hole is drilled in the tooth. All the decayed nerve tissues and the debris is removed. The cleaning process takes place after this. Once this takes place, then the tooth is sealed.

Often it is seen that patients think that it is painful treatment; but, the pain that is felt comes from the infection rather than the treatment. The treatment does not cause any pain; instead, it helps in alleviating the same. Dr. Gargi Kandhari is a well-known endodontist who carries out painless RCT treatment in Delhi. This treatment has a significant success rate. In very few cases, it is observed that root canal treatment is not successful because an infection develops inside the tooth. In such a case, the treatment performed is apicoectomy in which the infection and root tips are removed, and a filling is placed.
