Inside every tooth is a soft tissue called pulp. If this pulp becomes inflamed or infected due to deep decay, repeated procedures, or a crack, it can cause severe pain or abscess. RCT removes the infected pulp to save your tooth rather than extracting it.
Sharp or throbbing pain when chewing or applying pressure.
Pain to hot or cold temperatures that lingers even after the source is removed.
Swelling in the nearby gums, or a pimple (fistula) on the gums.
Modern Root Canal Treatment is virtually painless and very similar to getting a routine filling. It allows you to keep your natural tooth, which maintains your jaw bone and bite alignment.
In most cases, we recommend placing a Crown (Cap) after RCT to reinforce the tooth structure.
No. With modern local anaesthesia, the procedure is painless. It is done to relieve the pain caused by infection, not cause it.
Most treatments require 1–2 visits, depending on the complexity and infection level. Each appointment typically lasts 45–60 minutes.
Extraction is an alternative, but saving your natural tooth is always best for chewing and bone health. Replacing a missing tooth (bridge/implant) is more costly.
Teeth (especially molars) become brittle after RCT. A crown is highly recommended to prevent the tooth from breaking under chewing forces.
Don't ignore tooth pain. Early treatment is simpler and more effective. Visit Dr. Sajitha in Kayamkulam today.
