What  is a Root Canal Treatment?

A Root Canal Treatment is a procedure done by a Root Canal Specialist also known as an Endodontist. It aims at saving severely decayed or damaged teeth and is always preferred over extraction as it retains your natural tooth. Also, not replacing teeth after an extraction can have severe consequences on your neighbouring teeth health. In A Root Canal Treatment, the inner layer of the tooth known as the pulp is disinfected and filled using a special material. The tooth is then filled or protected using a dental crown if required. Tooth pain is one of the possible indications that you may require root canal treatment.

How  Long Does a Root Canal Treatment Take?

Depending upon the severity of infection, the duration of a Root Canal Treatment can vary. Sometimes, Root canal procedure can be completed in a single sitting as well. In case of a severely infected tooth, a root canal specialist may even require 2- 3 sittings to complete the Root canal procedure.

What is the Recovery after Root Canal Treatment

The recovery post Root Canal Treatment takes around 2-7 days. A little discomfort for a few days post root canal treatment is normal and is common in cases where the tooth was severely infected before the procedure. Oral hygiene post treatment should be maintained to ensure your teeth stay healthy.
