Root Canal Treatment

Root canal treatment is a permanent solution for saving an infected tooth, designed to restore its look, feel, and function just like a natural tooth. The procedure involves removing the infected pulp, cleaning and disinfecting the inside of the tooth, and then filling and sealing it to prevent further infection. This treatment allows you to retain your natural tooth structure while alleviating pain and restoring dental health.

What if a Root Canal Infection is Left Untreated?

If left untreated, Root canal decay can have severe consequences:

Increased Pain and Discomfort: An untreated root canal infection will likely result in escalating pain and discomfort. The infection can cause severe toothache, sensitivity to temperature, and even pain in the jaw and surrounding areas.
Spread of Infection: The infection in the tooth can spread to surrounding tissues, leading to more severe health issues. This can include abscess formation, which is a painful collection of pus that can cause swelling and fever. In severe cases, the infection can spread to other parts of the body, leading to serious complications.
Tooth Loss: If the infection is not treated, it can lead to the death of the tooth's pulp and the eventual loss of the tooth. Tooth loss can affect your ability to chew and speak properly and may lead to further dental complications, such as shifting teeth and bite misalignment.
Bone Loss: The infection can extend to the jawbone, causing the bone to deteriorate. This can weaken the bone structure and result in more complicated dental issues that may require extensive treatment, including bone grafts and dental implants.

Treatment Options

Standard Root Canal Treatment: This involves cleaning out the infected pulp, disinfecting the canals, and sealing them. It's the most common procedure to save an infected tooth.
Single-Visit Root Canal Treatment: For certain cases, a single-visit root canal can be performed. This option reduces the number of visits required and is suitable for teeth with uncomplicated root canal anatomy.
Retreatment of a Failed Root Canal: Sometimes, a previously treated tooth may not heal properly or may develop new issues. Retreatment involves removing the old filling material, cleaning and disinfecting the canals again, and resealing the tooth.
Microscopic Root Canal Treatment: Using advanced microscopy, this treatment provides enhanced visibility and precision, ensuring thorough cleaning and filling of even the smallest canals.
Laser-Assisted Root Canal Treatment: Laser technology can be used to disinfect the root canal system more effectively and quickly. This method can enhance the success rate of the treatment.
Root Canal with Apicoectomy: If inflammation or infection persists in the bony area around the end of your tooth after a root canal treatment, an apicoectomy might be necessary. This surgical procedure involves removing the tip of the root along with the infected tissue.
Root Canal Treatment for Children: For primary (baby) teeth, root canal treatments are performed to save the tooth until it naturally falls out. This can prevent the spread of infection and preserve the tooth's function.

Root Canal Treatment Procedure

FAQs

What is root canal treatment?

Root canal treatment is a dental procedure used to treat infection at the center of a tooth (the root canal system). This process involves removing the infected pulp, cleaning and disinfecting the inside of the tooth, and then filling and sealing it to prevent further infection. At Anaya Dental, located in Sector 48, Faridabad, we ensure a thorough clinical and radiological diagnosis to provide you with the best treatment options.

How do I know if I need a root canal treatment?

You might need a root canal if you experience severe tooth pain, prolonged sensitivity to heat or cold, discoloration of the tooth, swelling and tenderness in nearby gums, or a persistent or recurring pimple on the gums. At Anaya Dental, our specialists will assess the prognosis of your tooth to determine if a root canal is necessary.

What happens during a root canal treatment?

During a root canal treatment, the dentist numbs the area around the affected tooth, removes the infected or damaged pulp, cleans and shapes the root canals, and then fills and seals them. In most cases, the tooth is then restored with a crown or filling for protection. Our team at Anaya Dental ensures a pain-free experience using the latest techniques and equipment.

Is a root canal painful?

Modern root canal treatments are no more painful than getting a regular filling. Local anesthesia and advanced techniques minimize discomfort during the procedure. Post-treatment pain, if any, is usually mild and temporary. At Anaya Dental, we prioritize your comfort and provide comprehensive care to manage any discomfort.

Do I need a crown after a root canal?

In most cases, a crown is recommended after a root canal treatment to protect the tooth from fracture and restore its function. A crown provides strength and durability, especially for teeth that undergo significant chewing forces. Anaya Dental offers high-quality crowns tailored to fit your tooth perfectly.

Which is better, root canal or extraction?

Root canal treatment is often preferred because it saves the natural tooth. Keeping your natural teeth helps maintain proper chewing and biting, protects other teeth from excessive wear or strain, and preserves your smile. Extraction is considered when the tooth is beyond repair. At Anaya Dental, we help you make an informed decision by evaluating all options.

Is there an alternative to a root canal?

Alternatives to root canal treatment include extraction followed by replacement options such as a dental implant, bridge, or removable partial denture. However, these alternatives may be more expensive and involve more complex procedures. At Anaya Dental, we guide you through all possible alternatives to ensure the best outcome.

Can you avoid a root canal with antibiotics?

Antibiotics alone cannot cure an infected root canal because they cannot reach the infection inside the tooth. Root canal treatment is necessary to remove the infected tissue and prevent the infection from spreading. Anaya Dental emphasizes proper diagnosis and treatment planning to address the root cause effectively.

How much does a root canal treatment cost?

The cost of a root canal treatment can vary based on the complexity of the case, the tooth involved, and the dentist’s location and experience. On average, the cost ranges from ₹5,000 to ₹15,000. Additional costs for a crown can range from ₹10,000 to ₹30,000. At Anaya Dental, we provide transparent pricing and flexible payment options to suit your needs.
