How painful is a root canal?

When the pulp of a tooth is infected, it causes pain and discomfort. A root canal procedure removes the bacteria from the infected tooth, decontaminates the area, and seals the tooth to prevent further infection. This procedure has had a reputation of being very painful. But, the pain comes from the infected tooth and not from the procedure. 

Before the procedure, you will be given pain medication and antibiotics. It is done under local anesthesia. The dentist will also prescribe medicines to keep you comfortable after the completion of the procedure. You will feel a little soreness following the procedure, but it goes away within a few days. Root canal treatment in Delhi is available at Samadhan clinic, the best dental clinic in Delhi.

How do you know if you need a root canal?

If you have one or more of the following, then you need to visit your dentist and determine if you need a root canal:

• Lasting pain in the tooth that does not go away with painkillers or keeps coming back
• Swelling in and around the area of pain
• Difficulty or painful chewing
• If the pain increases on changing position
• If pressure, heat, or cold exacerbates the tooth pain
• Pain that may radiate to the face or the neck
• Swelling that is present for weeks or months
• If you notice that the swelling increases with time
• The infected tooth collects pus and causes foul-smelling breath

Your dentist will decide if you need a root canal based on:

• Xray
• Nerve involvement
• Examination of the tooth
• Sensitivity assessment
• Cavity test

If the X-ray shows a deep level of damage, the nerve is involved beyond a point of repair, a root canal procedure is suggested. A root canal that is done at the right time saves your tooth and prevents further deterioration of the other teeth and preserves oral health.

Signs and Symptoms of Root Canal

Root Canal Symptoms

If you are suffering from relentless pain that keeps you awake through the night, it's time for you to stop procrastinating and visit to the dentist. The dentist will advise you to get an x-ray done for the concerned tooth. The x-ray would approximately demarcate the encroachment of the cavity towards the pulp of the tooth and help evaluate the signs of the root canal. Root canal treatment is done when a tooth is grossly decayed, i.e., the cavity has invaded the pulp.

Symptoms of root canal continue to aggravate if left unattended. Cardinal root canal pain symptoms would include either of the following:

• Severe pain in a particular tooth
• Shooting pain that radiates up to the head, neck, or ear
• Hot and cold beverages trigger the pain
• Excruciating pain on chewing
• Pain associated with or without swelling
• In some cases, an episode of acute pain dies, leading to the silent spread of infection deeper. This may eventually give rise to pus and swelling, destroying surrounding bone health.

Issues that lead to root canal generally arise after a tooth has grossly decayed or has chipped or cracked due to an accidental fall. 

Root canal treatment involves depriving a tooth of its vitality. The entire content of a root including nerves and blood vessels are cleared along with the debridement of the canals from the infection.

 Root canal infection symptoms can arise after:

• Faulty restoration
• Accidental crack
• Unattended cavity

Sometimes due to the recurrent nature of the bacteria invading the canal, a root canal treatment might fail. Signs of infection after Root Canal include:

• Pus formation
• Swelling
• Pain
• Mobility

In such cases, depending on the severity of the condition, either a re-root canal treatment is done, or you are advised to go for extraction. 

Nonetheless, every little step to increase a tooth's longevity is by far the best treatment modality and is practised by dentists worldwide.
