Root canal treatment in Kakinada
Treatment for an infected or badly decayed tooth that removes the damaged nerve and saves the natural tooth.
What it is
Inside every tooth is a soft core of nerve and blood vessels called the pulp. When decay or a crack reaches the pulp, it can become inflamed or infected. That often causes sharp pain, pain at night, or sensitivity that lingers after hot or cold food.
Root canal treatment removes the infected pulp, cleans and shapes the canals inside the root, and seals them. The tooth is then rebuilt, often with a crown, so you can keep chewing on your own tooth instead of having it removed.
What to expect at a visit
- An examination of the painful tooth to see how far the problem has reached.
- A clear explanation of what is wrong and what the treatment involves before anything starts.
- Local anaesthetic so the tooth is numb while the dentist works.
- Advice on caring for the tooth afterwards, and whether it needs a crown.
Common questions
Does a root canal hurt?
The tooth is numbed with local anaesthetic before treatment. Many of the clinic's reviewers describe their root canal as painless, but everyone is different. The dentist will explain what to expect for your tooth.
Why not just take the tooth out?
Keeping your natural tooth helps you chew normally and stops neighbouring teeth drifting into the gap. The dentist will tell you whether the tooth can be saved and talk you through the options.
