Root Canal Treatment (RCT) in Noida
Save an infected or badly decayed tooth and relieve pain by cleaning the root canals.
Root canal treatment is needed when the nerve inside a tooth is inflamed or infected — usually from deep decay, a crack or a large old filling. The procedure removes the damaged tissue, disinfects the canals and seals them.
Modern root canal treatment is done under local anaesthesia and is comparable to having a filling. It lets you keep a tooth that would otherwise need to be removed.
Symptoms & concerns
- Lingering pain after hot or cold food and drink
- Sharp pain when biting or on release
- A constant, throbbing toothache, sometimes disturbing sleep
- A pimple-like swelling on the gum near a tooth
- Darkening of a single tooth
- Tenderness or swelling in the surrounding gum or face
Who it's for
- People with a confirmed infected or inflamed tooth nerve
- Patients with a deep cavity close to the nerve
- Those with a cracked tooth causing nerve symptoms
- Anyone wanting to save a tooth rather than extract it
The treatment process
Diagnosis
Examination, sensitivity tests and an X-ray to confirm the tooth and assess the infection.
Cleaning the canals
Under local anaesthesia and a rubber dam, the infected tissue is removed and the canals are shaped and disinfected.
Sealing
The canals are filled with a sealed material. A temporary or permanent filling closes the access.
Crown protection
A back tooth usually needs a crown afterwards to prevent fracture, as a root-treated tooth is more brittle.
Benefits
- Immediate route to relieving severe toothache
- The natural tooth is kept, preserving your bite and appearance
- Stops the infection spreading to bone and other teeth
- High success rate, especially when finished with a crown
Frequently asked questions
The procedure itself is done with anaesthesia and is not painful. It relieves the pain the infection was causing. Mild tenderness for a few days afterwards is normal.
