Root canal treatment is one of the most commonly addressed dental treatments and also one of the most effective, in saving a tooth. RCT is performed on a decayed tooth’s pulp area for protecting the tooth from further decay. It is recommended that you get a dental crown or cap after root canal treatment.Root canal treatment can either be completed in a single session or in multiple sessions depending on the condition of the tooth and peri-apical condition.
Symptoms of a Root Canal Problem
• Severe tooth pain, sensitivity to hot & cold temperatures
• Tooth becomes discolored
• Swollen, tender gums
• A recurring pimple that forms on the gums
If not treated on time, the infection can cause an abscess, leading to swelling of the face, neck, and bone loss around the roots of teeth.
