Root canal treatment, also known as endodontic treatment, is a procedure performed to eliminate bacteria in an infected or non-vital pulp, prevent the re-infection of the tooth, and save the natural tooth. During root canal treatment, the infected or non-vital pulp tissue is removed, and the root canals are thoroughly cleaned and disinfected before being sealed in a leak-proof manner.
There are many misconceptions about root canal treatment. For example, a common misunderstanding is that root canal treatment is a highly painful procedure. However, with the use of modern anesthesia techniques and effective pain relievers, patients do not experience pain during the treatment. Another misconception is that root canal treatment will completely numb the tooth. In reality, after the treatment, the tooth continues to perform normal functions like chewing and biting. Misunderstandings like these can lead to unnecessary fear of root canal treatment.
Toothaches are challenging conditions that most of us encounter at some point in our lives. However, modern dentistry, through treatments like root canal therapy, can comfortably alleviate this pain.
Root canal treatment is required when tooth decay progresses, a tooth cracks or fractures deeply, or in cases of gum disease. These situations can damage the vital tissue (pulp) of the tooth, leading to severe pain and sensitivity. Untreated, these teeth can develop infections and abscesses or even lead to tooth loss. Root canal treatment is the most effective way to relieve pain and save the tooth.
In cases that require root canal treatment, pain relievers can be used to alleviate the pain until you visit your dentist. The root canal treatment process usually requires one or more sessions, and it is essential to follow your dentist's recommendations to complete the treatment successfully.

Root canal treatment is an essential way to preserve your dental health; however, it requires careful post-treatment care to maintain its success. Post-root canal treatment care includes regular brushing and flossing. Additionally, it's crucial to use any antibiotics prescribed by your doctor until you finish them and continue using pain relievers for the specified duration.
There are specific precautions to take during the recovery period after root canal treatment. Firstly, it's essential not to apply excessive pressure to the treated tooth. Some sensitivity or discomfort is normal, particularly in the first few days after the treatment. If your pain increases or becomes severe, you should notify your dentist. Remember, with proper care and attention, root canal treatment can maintain your dental health in the long term and provide a pain-free smile.
