A dental procedure used to treat infectious pulp in the roots of a tooth is termed Root Canal Treatment or Endodontic Treatment. The process for a root canal involves the removal of infected pulp from the roots. The roots are disinfected and sealed to stop further infection. RCT saves the tooth that might need to be pulled in the future.
Patients might experience post-operative pain or slight irritation after RCT. This is very common after RCT as it has a major impact on the nervous system. Post-operative pain varies among individuals. It might last for two to five days or sometimes even longer. In very few cases, it may take a few weeks for the symptoms to disappear. Follow the instructions of your dentist and take prescribed medicines timely.
The complexity of the case and any extra restoration required will determine the final RCT cost. More money is spent on dental bridges or implants to replace lost teeth than on root canal therapy. It is best to consult a dentist to know the actual cost of RCT and dental crown required to support the tooth.
