Each tooth has a root with at least one root canal initiating the root. The canals contain pulp material consisting of veins and nerve tissue, which help nourish the tooth. When this pulp gets infected because of microbes from decay or injury, it must be taken out and the canal thoroughly cleaned and sterilized. Patients typically need a root canal when there is inflammation/ infection in the roots of a tooth.
RCT or Root canal treatment is a dental procedure to relieve dental pain and save your teeth, despite the fact that the root of the tooth is currently dead. The tooth is as yet holding quick in the jaw bone & is nourished by encompassing tissues. This is important for chewing and biting purposes as well as maintaining jaw structure.
Signs that you need Root Canal Treatment:
- An extreme, painful toothache that might not let you sleep
- Sensitivity to hot or cold items persists even after the sensation has been removed
- Painful experience while chewing or biting food
- A damaged or crooked tooth
- Inflammation or tenderness in the gums
- Unexpected pain that usually starts from the jaw and ends up in head areas, including the ear
- Tooth Decay
- A pimple on the gum that contains blood or pus when drained
