Root Canal Treatment in Kalpetta, Wayanad

What this treatment involves

• The inflamed or infected pulp inside the tooth is removed.
• The inner canals are cleaned, shaped and sealed.
• The tooth is then restored, usually with a filling and often a crown for strength.

Who may need it

• People with prolonged, throbbing tooth pain
• Teeth with deep decay reaching the nerve
• A tooth with swelling, an abscess or a gum boil
• Cracked or injured teeth affecting the nerve

Signs worth getting checked

• Pain that lingers after hot or cold drinks
• Pain that wakes you at night
• Swelling of the gum or face near a tooth
• A tooth that has darkened in colour
• Pain when biting on one particular tooth

How the clinic approaches it

• X-rays and testing to confirm the tooth involved before treatment is recommended.
• Treatment under local anaesthesia, with the aim of keeping you comfortable throughout.
• Careful cleaning and sealing of the canals, over one or more visits as needed.
• A discussion about protecting the tooth afterwards with a crown where indicated.

What patients can expect

• Pain relief usually begins soon after the infected pulp is removed.
• Mild tenderness for a few days is normal and generally manageable.
• A treated tooth needs a proper final restoration to avoid fracture later.
