ROOT CANAL TREATMENT IN GOA
What is Root Canal Treatment?
THE SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OF ROOT CANAL INFECTION
- Severe toothache while chewing or applying pressure
- Prolonged sensitivity to hot or cold temperatures
- Darkening or discoloration of the tooth
- Swelling and tenderness in the surrounding gums
- Persistent pimple-like bump on the gums
ADVANTAGES OF ROOT CANAL TREATMENT
1. Pain relief: It alleviates the pain caused by infected or damaged pulp.
2. Tooth preservation: It saves your natural tooth, avoiding extraction.
3. Prevents further damage: Timely RCT stops the infection from spreading to surrounding teeth or gums.
4. Restores function: After treatment, you can bite, chew, and speak normally.

DETAILED PROCEDURAL STEPS ARE AS FOLLOWS
1. Examination and Diagnosis: The dentist examines the affected tooth using X-rays or scans to assess the extent of the infection. Once diagnosed, local anesthesia is administered to numb the area and ensure a pain-free procedure.
2. Pulp Removal: The dentist makes a small opening in the tooth’s crown to access the infected pulp. The infected tissue is carefully removed using specialized instruments, and the inner chambers (root canals) are cleaned and disinfected.
3. Filling the Canals: After the canals are thoroughly cleaned, they are filled with a biocompatible material known as gutta-percha, which seals the canals and prevents further infection.
4. Temporary or Permanent Filling: Depending on the condition of the tooth, the dentist may place a temporary filling, followed by a permanent filling or crown at a later appointment to restore the tooth’s structure and strength.
5. Follow-up Care: A follow-up visit ensures the treated tooth is healing properly, and regular dental checkups are recommended to maintain oral health.
