Root Canal Treatment

Discover the joy of a painless smile with a Root Canal Treatment at Gnathos

A root canal treatment is a dental procedure that helps alleviate pain from an infected or inflamed tooth. The pulp, comprising nerves and blood vessels, is compromised due to bacterial decay or injury. The treatment entails eliminating the infected pulp from inside the tooth, followed by disinfecting the tooth and sealing the place using a filling.
A root canal treatment aims to prevent infection from spreading and preserve your natural tooth by removing bacteria from the root.

Understanding RCT

When the pulp inside a tooth is infected or damaged, an RCT treatment is necessary. This occurs when a cavity is left unaddressed, and the bacteria attack the pulp.
The RCT treatment procedure aims to eliminate the infection from the root canals of the teeth and restore the supporting tissues back to good health. It saves the tooth that has been damaged by decay, abscess, or fracture, preventing the need for extraction.
The root canals and hollow pulp chamber are cleaned, filled, and sealed. As the tooth is still anchored in the bone, even after removing the pulp, you can use it for biting and chewing.

When Do You Need To Get An RCT Treatment?

Here are some indications that could signify you need dental implants:

  • Extreme toothache when biting or chewing
  • Sensitivity while having cold or hot food
  • Tooth becomes darker
  • Swollen gums
  • Cracked or chipped tooth
  • Sores that look like pimples on the gums

By addressing root canal issues early, you can prevent the tooth’s further decay and infection that could eventually lead to the loss of the tooth. Further, by getting an RCT teeth treatment early, you prevent the infection from spreading to other areas of your oral cavity.

Patient-Centric Care At Gnathos

What distinguishes us is the personalized care we give our patients before, during, and after RCT teeth treatment.

While undergoing the RCT treatment procedure, we ensure that we keep our patients in the loop at every stage. We offer them pre-operative preparation tips, including what anesthesia we will use during the treatment and the importance of keeping soft and ready-to-chew foods at home.

Our surgeons give them tips on recovering after the RCT procedure. We advise them on what foods they need to avoid and tell them to follow dental hygiene practices regularly. We advise them on the importance of getting proper sleep at night before and after the treatment. The focus is on facilitating a smooth recovery and maintenance of the health of the treated tooth.

The Unique Root Canal Treatment Procedure Gnathos Follows

Here is the step-by-step procedure we follow

Step 2 - Numbing the Area

Before the procedure, we administer local anesthesia to ensure the patient does not feel pain during the procedure.

Step 4 - Access Opening

We drill a small access hole into the tooth’s crown to reach the pulp chamber.

Step 6 - Filling the Canals

Once cleaned and shaped, the canals are filled with a biocompatible material (gutta-percha) to seal them and prevent further infection.

Step 1 - Diagnosis

Before the RCT teeth treatment, we take an X-ray to gauge the condition of your infected tooth and create a customized treatment plan.

Step 3 - Placing the Dental Dam

We place an isolation device (rubber dam) around the tooth to keep it dry and saliva-free during the procedure.

Step 5 - Pulp Removal and Cleaning

Specialized instruments remove the infected or damaged pulp tissue, and the canals are cleaned and shaped to prepare for filling.

Step 7 - Restoration

A filling, whether temporary or permanent, is used to fill the access opening. Then, we place a custom-made crown for added protection.

At Gnathos, we have a dependable team of specialists with a track record of performing numerous RCT treatment processes successfully. We put a lot of effort into making the patient comfortable, communicating to them everything they need to know to prepare for the treatment.
