Dental pain or tooth related pain is one of the most common cause for which a patient seeks a dentist. Previously common treatment was removal of offending tooth to get relief from pain. But presently the focus of treatment is conservative and not only to relieve from pain but also save the offending tooth.
(a) Aesthetic or appearance
(b) To restore function- chewing of food
(c) to maintain its physiology- for proper speech or phonation
It is mainly done to remove any kind of infections associated with the tooth and hence save it, thus increasing its life.
If you present with any of the following symptoms then, after proper diagnosis, root canal treatment will be advised.
Treatment visits usually depends on the extent of the tooth infection. It may take three to four visits of thirty minutes duration each.
Your restored tooth should last a lifetime, once you continue to care for your teeth and gums. However regular checkups are necessary. As long as the root(s) of a treated tooth are nourished by the tissue around it, your teeth will remain healthy.
