Root Canal Treatment (RCT) in Nellore – Save Your Natural Teeth

Root canal treatment, also known as endodontic treatment, is a procedure done to repair and save teeth that have been badly decayed or infected. At Suguna Dental clinic in Nellore, we provide advanced root canal treatments to help our patients keep their natural teeth and avoid extractions.

When is Root Canal Treatment Needed?

If the inner soft tissue called pulp gets infected due to deep dental caries, cracked teeth, repetitive dental procedures, root canal treatment is needed to:

• Remove infected/injured pulp
• Clean, shape and disinfect the inside of the tooth
• Fill and seal it with a rubber-like material called gutta-percha

Ignoring symptoms like toothache, swelling, sensitivity can lead to abscess and eventually tooth loss.

Advantages of Root Canal Treatment

Root canal treatment helps to:

• Save natural teeth and avoid extraction
• Maintain chewing function
• Maintain natural appearance
• Prevent jawbone loss from tooth extraction
• Less costly and better in the long run than implants

Procedure of Root Canal Treatment

Root canal treatment is done under local anesthesia over 1-2 visits. The steps include:

First Visit

• Examine the tooth with xrays to assess infection
• Administer local anesthesia to numb the area
• Make an opening through the top of the tooth to reach inner infected pulp
• Remove infected pulp completely with specialized dental instruments
• Disinfect inner tooth walls with antibiotics or other strong disinfectants
• Temporary filling is done to close the opening

Second Visit

• Remove temporary filling and examine if infection has subsided
• Fill and tightly seal the inner tooth space with an inert rubber-like material called gutta-percha
• Place a permanent quality filling or crown on top for reinforcement

With advanced tools and latest techniques, our dentists make the procedure comfortable. We also provide post-treatment care instruction for complete healing.
