Root Canal Treatment

Root canal treatment is a dental procedure designed to save a tooth that has become infected or severely decayed. This procedure involves the removal of the infected pulp from the inside of the tooth, cleaning and disinfecting the root canals, and then filling and sealing the space to prevent further infection. Root Canal Treatment in Yerawada is essential for preserving a tooth that might otherwise need to be extracted. At Lé Dental Esthétiqu, Dr. Nimay Devjee & Dr. Charvee Rehani offers expert care to ensure successful treatment and long-lasting results.

Importance of Root Canal Treatment

1. Pain Relief: Root canal treatment alleviates the severe pain associated with tooth infections, providing immediate relief for patients.
2. Preservation of Natural Teeth: By saving the natural tooth, root canal treatment helps maintain proper function and aesthetics, preventing the need for more invasive procedures like implants or bridges.
3. Prevention of Further Infection: The treatment removes bacteria and infected tissue, reducing the risk of the infection spreading to surrounding teeth and tissues.
4. Improved Oral Health: Successfully treating an infected tooth contributes to overall oral health and prevents complications that can arise from untreated dental issues.
5. Restoration of Function: After a root canal, the tooth can be restored with a crown or filling, allowing for normal chewing and biting functions.

The Root Canal Procedure

1. Diagnosis: The process begins with a thorough examination and X-rays to assess the extent of the infection or decay.
2. Anesthesia: Local anesthesia is administered to numb the area around the affected tooth, ensuring a pain-free experience during the procedure.
3. Accessing the Tooth: Dr. Saswati Sahu creates an opening in the crown of the tooth to access the pulp chamber and root canals.
4. Cleaning and Shaping: The infected pulp is carefully removed, and the canals are cleaned, shaped, and disinfected to eliminate any remaining bacteria.
5. Filling the Canals: Once cleaned, the canals are filled with a biocompatible material called gutta-percha to seal the space and prevent future infection.
6. Sealing the Tooth: Finally, the tooth is sealed with a temporary or permanent filling, and a crown may be placed to restore its strength and function.

Post-Treatment Care

After a Root Canal Treatment in Yerawada at Lé Dental Esthétiqu, it’s essential to follow Dr. Nimay Devjee & Dr. Charvee Rehani instructions for care:

1. Pain Management: Some discomfort is normal after the procedure. Over-the-counter pain relievers can help manage any pain or swelling.
2. Oral Hygiene: Maintain good oral hygiene by brushing and flossing regularly to prevent further dental issues.
3. Dietary Restrictions: Avoid hard or crunchy foods for a few days to protect the treated tooth while it heals.
4. Follow-Up Visits: Schedule any necessary follow-up appointments to monitor healing and discuss further restoration options, such as crowns.
