Root Canal Treatment

Root canal is used to describe the natural cavity that lies within the center of your tooth. It consist of the nerves of the tooth. When the pulp of your tooth or the nerve tissue gets damaged, it will break down resulting in growth of bacteria in the pulp chamber. The presence of bacteria will cause a tooth infection. It can also cause severe pain and swelling that can spread to other parts of the body such as neck, face or head.

If you are experiencing tooth discoloration, pain, swelling or a feeling of tenderness in your lymph nodes ( just above the TMJ joint), there may be a chance that you need a Root canal treatment.

A root canal is performed for repairing or saving an infected tooth that has been damaged badly. The procedure is carried out by removing the area of the tooth that is damaged, commonly known as the pulp. After that, the area is cleaned and disinfected before being filled and sealed. Once this initial treatment is performed, you can visit you dentist later who may place a crown on the affected tooth for protection and restore it to function perfectly. A root canal treatment at Thaper Dental Clinic in Jaipur is usually done in one visit using latest dental equipment and techniques. But sometimes when the infection is severe, you may need to visit multiple times until the infection is completely drained out.
