info@vivavel.com+919818262686+919818262686Root Canal Treatment (RCT) is a dental procedure performed to save a severely decayed or infected tooth by removing the damaged pulp inside the tooth. Once the pulp is removed, the inside of the tooth is cleaned, disinfected, and sealed with a biocompatible filling material.
This treatment helps eliminate pain, prevent tooth extraction, and maintain natural tooth structure. With modern techniques and advanced anaesthesia, root canal treatment today is virtually painless and highly effective, offering long-lasting results.
Severe toothache or pain while chewing
Prolonged sensitivity to hot or cold
Swollen or tender gums near a tooth
Darkening or discolouration of a tooth
Dental abscess (pus formation)
Pain that radiates to the jaw or ear
Deep tooth decay or cavities reaching the pulp
Cracked or fractured tooth exposing nerves
Repeated dental procedures on the same tooth
Injury or trauma to the mouth
Untreated gum disease leading to infection
Consult a dentist immediately if you experience:
Persistent tooth pain or swelling
Sensitivity that lasts long after eating or drinking

Tooth discolouration or mobility
Early treatment prevents infection from spreading and helps preserve your natural tooth.

Dental X-rays: To assess root structure and detect infection around the root tip
Pulp Vitality Test: To determine the health of the tooth’s nerve tissue
Digital Imaging: For precise diagnosis and treatment planning
Do’s:
Maintain good oral hygiene, brush and floss daily
Take prescribed medications as advised
Avoid chewing hard foods on the treated tooth until the crown is placed
Attend all follow-up appointments
Use a soft-bristle toothbrush for gentle cleaning
Don’ts:
Don’t delay getting a dental crown after the root canal.
Avoid eating sticky or crunchy foods immediately after treatment.
Don’t skip antibiotics if prescribed.
Avoid using the treated tooth for hard bites until fully restored.
