Root canal treatment involves pulp tissue removal from the tooth when they get inflamed or infected. It is the first step that we take at Dental Aesthetics to save the tooth of a patient.There is a general perception among the patients of the root canal in Lahore that it is a painful process with questionable prognosis and outcome. Dental Aesthetics has good news for patients needing root canal treatment in Pakistan. Our expert endodontist takes you out of your pain by using minimally invasive techniques. Let us help you get rid of the pain by removing the pulp and affected nerve tissue. The use of a small hole lets the specialist extract the pulp and damaged nerve and debris by irrigating, using the progressively larger size of files, and recapitulating with smaller files. After the removal of the tissue, the endodontist fills the canals and seals the access hole.
What Should You Know About Root Canal?
Once you undergo the root canal treatment, your endodontist at Dental Aesthetics will completely guide you about the care you must exercise. Once your medication for numbing the pain starts wearing off, you might start to feel the pain again. Don’t worry; this pain won’t last for long. Give the treatment some time to heal. If you feel some soreness in the treated area, don’t panic, it will get better as time progresses.
Who Needs Root Canal Treatment?
If the pump of a person's teeth becomes infected or gets injured, it won't repair itself, which will lead to the tissues dying. Without Root Canal Treatment, there are high chances of the infection spreading. Eventually, the affected teeth become loose and always require extraction, which is basically what the Root Canal Treatment in Lahore is. Some patients don't opt for this extraction. However, if the decay is large in size or there is loss of bone due to gum or periodontal disease, extraction is necessary to ensure good dental health.
How Painful Is The Treatment?
One of the common fear people have about root canal treatment is that it is painful. However, when the treatment procedure is carried out by the dental surgeons at Dental Aesthetics, it is relatively less painful. If there is any pain, that is because of the infection and not the treatment itself. Our dentists relieve the pain of the treatment procedure by numbing the patient's tooth and its surrounding area using local anaesthesia. Feeling slight tenderness post-treatment is normal and temporary. Taking an over-the-counter painkiller will be enough to relieve the pain.
What Are The Treatment Steps?
Root canal treatment is completed in three steps and it takes 1-3 visits to our dental clinic. Initially, the dentists at Dental Aesthetics begin with cleaning the root canal, which involves removing everything that is within the root canal. While the patient is under anaesthesia, a slight access hole is made on the surface of the tooth to remove the dead pulp tissue. After that, the hollow area is cleaned, shaped, and decontaminated using irrigation solutions and small files. Then, the dentist fills the tooth with a rubber-like material and seals the canal with adhesive cement. When the treatment is complete, the patient no longer feels any pain in the affected tooth.
How To Manage Post-Treatment Pain?
Over-the-counter painkillers are sufficient to relieve the pain after a Root Canal Treatment. However, we advise the patients to only use the painkillers according to the instructions and prescription of our endodontists and visit Dental Aesthetics immediately if the pain does not go away. Other than that, as an aftercare, it is advised to avoid biting and chewing food using the affected tooth until it has completely healed. Moreover, practicing a good oral hygiene routine that includes regular flossing and brushing is also important.
