What is Root Canal Treatment?

Root canal treatment is a dental procedure used to treat a tooth when the inner pulp of the tooth becomes inflamed or infected. This can happen because of deep tooth decay, a crack or injury, or repeated dental treatment. During root canal treatment, the affected tissue is carefully removed, the inside of the tooth is cleaned and shaped, and the tooth is sealed to help prevent further infection. At Dr. Supriya’s Dental Clinic in Shivajinagar, Pune, root canal treatment is planned according to the condition of your tooth and your individual dental needs.

When Might You Need a Root Canal?

A tooth may require root canal treatment when the infection or damage has reached the inner part of the tooth. Common signs may include:

• Persistent or severe tooth pain Pain while chewing or biting

• Prolonged sensitivity to hot or cold

• Deep tooth decay Swelling around the tooth

• Tenderness around the gums

• A cracked or damaged tooth

• Darkening or discoloration of a tooth

Not every toothache requires a root canal. A dentist needs to examine the tooth and determine the underlying cause of the pain.

Root Canal Treatment for Different Dental Problems

Root canal treatment may be considered for teeth affected by:

• Deep Tooth Decay Decay that has progressed deep into the tooth may affect the pulp.

• Infected Tooth Bacteria can enter the inner part of the tooth and cause infection.

• Cracked or Damaged Tooth: Certain cracks or injuries can affect the tooth's inner tissues.

• Repeated Dental Treatment: A heavily treated tooth may sometimes develop problems involving the pulp.
