Root Canal Treatment in Vellore | Pain-Free RCT
Modern, pain-free root canal treatment to save your natural teeth and eliminate dental pain at Indira Dental Clinic, Vellore.
What Is Root Canal Treatment?
Root Canal Treatment (RCT) is a dental procedure that treats infection at the center of a tooth (the root canal system). The treatment involves removing the infected pulp, carefully cleaning the inside of the tooth, and then sealing it to prevent further infection.
Contrary to popular belief, modern root canal treatments at Indira Dental Clinic are virtually painless. With advanced techniques and effective anesthesia, Dr. Rockson Samuel ensures the procedure is comfortable while saving your natural tooth.
When Is RCT Needed?
- Severe tooth decay reaching the pulp
- Cracked or fractured tooth
- Persistent tooth sensitivity to hot/cold
- Severe toothache when chewing
- Facial swelling or gum abscess
Benefits of RCT
- Saves your natural tooth
- Relieves pain and infection
- Prevents infection spread
- Restores normal biting function
- More affordable than extraction and replacement
Our Root Canal Procedure
At Indira Dental Clinic, Dr. Rockson Samuel performs root canal treatments using advanced techniques and state-of-the-art equipment for precise, comfortable, and effective results.
Diagnosis and Planning
First, Dr. Samuel will perform a thorough examination including digital X-rays to confirm the need for root canal treatment and assess the extent of infection.
Anesthesia and Preparation
We'll administer local anesthesia to ensure you feel no pain during the procedure. A dental dam is placed to isolate the tooth and keep it clean and free from saliva.
Access and Pulp Removal
Dr. Samuel will create a small access hole in the tooth crown to reach the pulp chamber and root canals. The infected or damaged pulp is carefully removed using specialized instruments.
Cleaning and Shaping
The canal space is thoroughly cleaned using antimicrobial solutions to eliminate bacteria. The canals are then shaped to prepare them for filling.
Filling the Canals
The cleaned canals are filled with a biocompatible material called gutta-percha, and sealed with adhesive cement to ensure complete sealing of the canals.
Final Restoration
After the root canal procedure, we'll place either a temporary or permanent filling to close the access hole. In most cases, we recommend placing a crown to protect the tooth and restore full function.
After Root Canal Treatment
After your root canal treatment, it's important to follow proper care instructions to ensure healing and preserve the treated tooth:
- Take any prescribed medications as directed to prevent infection
- Avoid chewing on the treated tooth until final restoration is placed
- Maintain excellent oral hygiene with regular brushing and flossing
- Return for your crown or permanent restoration as scheduled
- Attend regular dental check-ups to monitor the treated tooth
Most patients can return to normal activities the day after treatment. Some mild discomfort for a few days is normal and can be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers. If you experience severe pain or pressure lasting more than a few days, contact us immediately.
