Root Canal Treatment

Root Canal Treatment

The decaying of a tooth first starts with the enamel and progresses to the inner layers – Pulp. When the pulp gets decayed, it causes severe tooth pain. Root canal treatment(RCT) often becomes the only way to save the tooth.

How do I know if my tooth requires Root Canal Treatment?

The most common symptoms of an injured or infected pulp include:

Severe toothache or pain upon chewing or application of pressure

Prolonged sensitivity or pain to hot or cold temperatures (after the heat or cold has been removed)

Discolouration (darkening) of the tooth

Swelling and tenderness in nearby gums

A persistent or recurring pimple on the gums

Broken teeth

If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, please contact dentist of the Apple Dental Care Team as they can also be a sign of other oral health issues. Remember that everyone’s symptoms are different, and some patients have no symptoms at all.

In Apple dental care Ramanathapuram & Vellalore we do root canal treatment in an absolutely painless and extremely comfortable procedure. The Root Canal treatment will be performed and completed within a short time, mostly in a single visit. Treatment will be done with advanced equipment and dental x- rays. Treatment will be done by a highly-skilled endodontist (root canal specialist) with a strong clinical background and years of experience in root canal treatment.

After a root canal treatment, a tooth will become brittle and will not be able to withstand the forces of biting and chewing. A crown acts as a protective covering on the tooth and prevents any breakdown of tooth structure. So it has to be mandatory to crown any tooth that has been treated by root canal.​
