What is Root Canal Treatment?
A root canal is a dental procedure designed to treat infection or inflammation within the tooth’s pulp—the soft tissue inside the tooth that contains nerves, blood vessels, and connective tissue. When a tooth becomes severely decayed, cracked, or damaged, bacteria can enter the pulp, causing infection or inflammation. Left untreated, this infection can spread, leading to pain, abscess formation, or even tooth loss.
Root canal treatment involves the removal of the infected or damaged pulp, cleaning and disinfecting the inside of the tooth, and sealing it to prevent further infection. Contrary to popular belief, modern root canal treatments are painless and help save the natural tooth.
Why You Might Need a Root Canal
You may require root canal treatment if you experience the following symptoms:
Severe tooth pain when chewing or applying pressure
Prolonged sensitivity to hot or cold temperatures, even after the source is removed
Discoloration of the tooth (darkening or graying)
Swelling and tenderness in nearby gums
Recurring pimple on the gums
Dr. Harsh Sobti specializes in diagnosing and treating these issues, ensuring that patients receive prompt and effective care to alleviate pain and prevent complications.
The Root Canal Procedure at Sobti Nursing Home
Dr. Harsh Sobti and his team follow a patient-centered approach, focusing on making the root canal procedure as smooth and comfortable as possible. Here’s what you can expect during your visit:
- The procedure begins with a thorough examination, including digital X-rays to assess the extent of the infection and the condition of the surrounding bone and tissues.
- Local Anesthesia
To ensure a pain-free experience, local anesthesia is administered to numb the affected area. Patients feel comfortable throughout the procedure. - Removal of Infected Pulp
A small access hole is drilled into the tooth to reach the pulp. Using specialized instruments, Dr. Sobti carefully removes the infected or inflamed pulp. - Cleaning and Disinfection
The tooth’s interior, including the root canals, is meticulously cleaned and disinfected to eliminate bacteria and prevent further infection. - Filling and Sealing
Once cleaned, the canals are filled with a biocompatible material (gutta-percha) and sealed to prevent future bacterial contamination. - Restoration
After the root canal is completed, the tooth is restored with a crown or filling to reinforce its structure and functionality, ensuring that it can function like a normal tooth.
Benefits of Root Canal Treatment
- Tooth Preservation
Root canal treatment helps preserve your natural tooth, avoiding the need for extraction. Retaining your natural tooth is beneficial for overall oral health and maintaining proper bite alignment. - Pain Relief
Root canal procedures eliminate the source of tooth pain, providing relief and allowing you to eat and speak comfortably. - Restored Function
Once the tooth is sealed and restored, it can function like any other tooth, enabling you to chew, bite, and smile confidently. - Aesthetically Pleasing
A crown placed after the root canal procedure can restore the tooth’s appearance, blending seamlessly with your natural teeth.
