Do your teeth pain when chewing food? Yet, Is there prolonged sensitivity to heat or cold, even after the source has been removed? On the other hand,  Is there discoloration of tooth or swelling and tenderness in the gums? These are signs and symptoms of a tooth that requires an RCT.

Why do I need root canal treatment?

To illustrate, the dental pulp  on top of the tooth is the soft area within the center of the tooth and contains nerves, blood vessels, and connective tissue. Moreover, the tooth nerve lies in the root of the tooth. The nerve tissue travels from the tip of the tooth root to the pulp chamber.

In particular, the tooth nerve is not very important to tooth health and function after the tooth emerges from gums. The function of the tooth nerve is to provide the sensation of heat and cold. Tooth nerve absence doesn’t affect the daily functioning of the tooth. Tooth pulp infection occurs because of severe decay, crack in the tooth, or facial trauma. Bacteria multiply within the pulp chamber and cause infection or pus-filled pockets at the end of the tooth root called an abscess. Later, tooth infection causes swelling in the face, neck, or head.

Subsequently, there could be bone loss around the end of the tooth and a hole through the side of the tooth. This causes drainage into gums or even through cheeks into the skin.

Reasons For RCT Procedure

What happens during RCT procedure?

First, your dentist will take an X-ray to check the shape of the tooth inside. He determines if there are signs of infection reaching the pulp and the surrounding bone. In order to numb the area, local anesthesia was administered near the tooth.

During the dental procedures, the dentist places a rubber dam around the tooth to keep the area dry and free of saliva. Afterward, an access hole drilled into the tooth, removes the pulp, bacteria, and related debris. The endodontist shapes the insides of the root with files.

Series of endodontic files of increasing diameter help to work down the full length of the tooth canal. This helps to scrub the sides of the root surface inside the tooth. Water and sodium hypochlorite flushes away any debris.

Finally, the treated tooth is obturated with a filling material. Your dentist might wait a week before sealing the tooth if there is an infection. He would put medication inside the tooth to clear the infection. In the case of a two sitting RCT  procedure, a temporary filling in the exterior hole in the tooth keeps contaminants out till the next dental appointment.

Finally, gutta-percha a rubber compound seals the tooth from the inside. A permanent filling seals the exterior access hole, drilled at the beginning of the procedure.

Front teeth that need root therapy is often one with a large filling due to fracture or severe decay, or a major weakness. The dentist places a crown on the tooth to protect it. If there is any additional dental work, take it up with the dentist. Contact the dentist nearby who can help you.
