No pains, no gains is an old saying which stands true no matter what situation you are in. When it comes to your dental problems and their treatments, you cannot expect a fairy Godmother to play the magic and shoo away the pain. Let us be realistic that whenever your body parts are tampered with, some kind of uneasiness and discomfort is natural. Having said that, root canal treatment is a complex dental procedure that treats a badly infected tooth instead of removing it! We are there to make this process less painful and gruesome for you. Our team of dentists’ does not want you to wail in pain before and after the treatment and for that, we encourage a healthy oral regime.
How
much pain is normal after Root Canal treatment?
Root Canal Treatment is the deep cleaning
of the inner chamber of the tooth roots so that any kind of swelling and
inflammation is treated immediately. In this process, some wear and tear of the
adjoining gums and tissues are inevitable. So, with it comes attached the pain
which is a matter of concern. Experiencing normal pain after a few days of the
treatment is perfectly acceptable. Anything that ceases to go despite over the
counter pain relief medications should be reported to the dentist.
We know the excruciating pain that comes
with the abscessed tooth and for this, root canal treatment is the best bet. We
will administer local anesthesia under the strict supervision of the dental anesthetist
so that you don’t feel pain during the process. Mild chills and pain after the
treatment can be countered with the medicines and we will recommend a strict
diet plan so that the pain doesn’t grow and you begin your recovery soon.
When
should you seek help?
The thumb rule is that the pain should
decrease with every passing day. And if this doesn’t happen, then you might
need another root canal session for cleaning. We will recommend the medicines
to be taken for easing the pain. You must not continue the medication to
subside the pain without consulting us. If the pain persists, visit us and we
will find the actual cause and help you.
