Root canal therapy is an extremely common procedure to save your teeth and relieve tooth ache.
Inside the tooth there is a soft tissue called pulp. This tissue contains blood vessels, nerves which help grow the root of tooth during development. A fully developed tooth can survive without the pulp as the tissues surrounding the tooth nourish it.
Patients need a root canal when there is inflammation or infection in the roots of their tooth. The treatment involves removing the pulp inside the tooth, clean and disinfecting the canals and filling the canal space. The space is sealed so the bacteria cannot reenter.
Root canal treatment is completed in one or two office visits, depending on the presence of infection and the required treatment plan.
Root canal is not more painful than a regular dental procedure like getting a filling done or deep cleaning as patients are given anesthesia. However, after the procedure the tooth is a bit sore and can cause mild discomfort for a few days. The dentist will prescribe medication which will help to relieve the discomfort.
When the anesthesia begins to wear off, some discomfort is expected. In terms of recovery, it is typically recommended three full days. The other way to manage discomfort is to avoid chewing or biting down on the specific tooth until it heals.
Yes, you can eat after root canal. Wait until most of the numbness wears off before eating. This will protect the patient from accidentally biting their own lips and tongue.
Do not place pressure on the specific tooth, root canal is done, as it may be sensitive. Soft foods and small bites are the best ones to try.
In the process of preparing the tooth for root canal, the caries part and certain amount of natural tooth structure must be removed. This will weaken the tooth structure even more. The tooth can become brittle, especially when biting down on something hard. The crown will hold the tooth together and will withstand the strong biting forces.
