Root Canal Treatment

Save Your Tooth with Root Canal Treatment

Root canal treatment is a treatment aimed at saving painful, infected or broken teeth. This treatment is a non-surgical treatment done after local anaesthesia. It does not require any post-treatment rest period.

What You Should Know

• Multiple visits may be necessary. X-rays of the tooth may be required during or after treatment.
• Following treatment, rest the tooth for 15 days by avoiding biting on it. Take all prescribed medicines for the full duration.
• This treatment offers 100% results in most cases. Results may be reduced by mobile teeth, weak teeth, or extra roots.
• After 6 months, return for crowning (capping) — this is a separate procedure essential for protecting the treated tooth.

Why Save the Tooth?

Though slightly more expensive than extraction, tooth removal always necessitates a replacement in the future — which is a far more expensive affair. It is always better to save your natural tooth.

Fixed Tooth Replacement (Prosthodontics)

After treatment, certain guidelines apply: avoid solid food for 2 hours after teeth fixation, brush twice daily, gargle after each meal, and strictly avoid betel/pan chewing to protect supporting teeth.
