What is Root Canal treatment?
Root canal therapy, also referred to as endodontic therapy, can be described as a restorative dental procedure that involves the removal of the pulp, the heart of the tooth. The pulp is made up of connective tissue, nerves, and blood vessels. Root canal is the only way to save the tooth from extraction after it has been infected.
Patients looking for root canal treatment in Delhi can reach out to Simplismile Practice, which is rated as the best Dental Clinic in Delhi, when the pulp is inflamed, infected, or injured.
Common causes of pulp damage:
A crack/chip or a fractured tooth.
Deep decay because of an untreated or a deep cavity.
Multiple dental procedures on the same tooth.
An injury or trauma on the tooth.

Signs and Symptoms that indicate you need an RCT treatment—
If you are experiencing any of the undermentioned signs and symptoms, you should contact Simplismile Dental Practice, the best Dental Clinic in Delhi, to avail root canal treatment in Delhi.
Excruciating Pain in your teeth: Severe tooth pain is usually the first sign that you require a root canal treatment in Delhi. It is important to remember that root canal pain is a bit different from other forms of tooth pain as it gets worse when biting down, eating, or when pressure is applied to your teeth.
Inflamed gums: If the gum area around the infected tooth is swollen, painful, or has a small bump on them with pus discharge, root canal treatment in Delhi is suggested.
Sensitivity: While a majority of people do have sensitivity when consuming extremely cold or hot foods, root canal sensitivity happens all the time and not only while consuming cold or hot foods. Severe sensitivity which cannot be controlled by any other treatment may lead to a root canal treatment.
Abscess/Cyst: which develops around the tooth, either due to neglect or sometimes goes unnoticed as it may be asymptomatic and can be diagnosed with an X-ray.

The procedure of RCT treatment in our clinic
At Simplismile Dental Practice, the dentist will examine you to evaluate if you require root canal treatment in Delhi. For this, the dentist will examine if the pulp inside the tooth is dying or dead or if there is a possibility that the pulp can recover. The dentist will then have a word with you about your pain, pain threshold, and symptoms. You will be asked how long you have had the pain, have you had pain in the past, when did the pain start, how long have you had the pain, what triggers the pain, or if the pain becomes more bearable while sitting up or lying down.
Once the preliminary/pre-qualifying questions are asked, the dentist will run some tests to find out if there is pus, infection, or any other infectious material. Once the dentist has identified one or more areas of pus discharge on the gum, additional testing (i.e. X-rays, thermal, and electric pulp testing) to zero in on the infected tooth.
Depending upon the examination and outcomes, the dentist will determine whether or not you are a candidate for root canal treatment. If you are a candidate for root canal treatment in Delhi, the dentist will need to administer some antibiotics to prevent the infection from spreading.
After administering local anesthesia, a small access hole is made on the tooth’s surface and the infected and diseased pulp tissue is removed with a small needle-like instrument called files. At Simplismile Dental, we use the most advanced Rotary Files system to clean, shape, and decontaminate the infected area of the tooth all the way to the roots, use Apex locator for knowing exact root lengths and use 3D obturation systems for root canal fillings. This is performed using tiny files and irrigation solutions. Once this has been done, the tooth is then filled with a rubber-like substance through an adhesive cement for sealing the canals completely. The tooth is non-vital after root canal treatment in Delhi. You will no longer feel any kind of pain in that tooth as the infection has been eliminated and the nerve tissue has been removed. Thereafter, a crown or filling is applied so the tooth doesn’t become brittle.
RCT performed at Simplismile Dental is very different and by using the most advanced equipment increasing the success rate drastically as compared to other dental clinics.
If you are searching for an orthodontist near me, Simplismile can also assist with other dental care needs to complement your root canal treatment.
What is Re-root Canal Treatment?
Sometimes a tooth which has been root canal treated aging starts to pain and trouble the patient after a few months or years. The main reason for that is if the root canal was not done properly at the first instance (which can be confirmed by a radiograph X-ray) or it has got reinfected because of poor oral hygiene. At Simplismile Dental, our Root canal specialist dentist, unlike other clinics, can still save the tooth and comfort the patient by doing a re-root canal treatment and possibly extending the life of the tooth.
How long does this treatment take?
Root canal treatment in Delhi usually takes between 1-3 sessions to complete. The procedure may take around 30-90 minutes or earlier, depending on the severity and extent of tooth or pulp damage. At Simplismile, we also offer Single Sitting root canal treatment for some specific cases and patients.
