If you experience severe tooth pain every time you chew your food or prolonged sensitivity to hot or cold foods, these signs indicate the need for root canal treatment. But in today's fast-paced world, multiple dental visits can be difficult to manage, given everyone's busy schedule. What if we told you that you can get root canal treatment done in a single visit?
At Praveen Dental Clinic, Dr. Praveen Kumar and his team offer a single sitting root canal treatment in Tirupati to minimize discomfort and save your natural teeth in just one visit.
A single sitting root canal treatment is a procedure where the entire root canal therapy is completed in one dental visit. This approach is designed to save time and reduce the number of appointments needed to treat an infected or damaged tooth.
Single-sitting root canal treatment offers several benefits:
Convenience: The entire procedure is completed in one visit, saving time and reducing the need for multiple appointments.
Efficiency: Modern techniques and equipment allow for efficient and effective treatment in a single session.
Reduced Anxiety: Fewer visits can reduce anxiety for patients who are apprehensive about dental procedures.
Immediate Relief: Patients experience immediate relief from pain after the procedure.
Good candidates for single sitting root canal treatment include:
The single sitting root canal treatment process involves the following steps:
Diagnosis and X-ray: The dentist thoroughly assesses the tooth and takes X-rays to examine the extent of the infection or damage.
Anesthesia: Local anesthesia is used to numb the affected area and ensure a painless procedure.
Access and Cleaning: A tiny opening is made in the tooth, and the damaged or infected pulp is removed. The root canals are then thoroughly cleaned, shaped, and disinfected.
Filling and Sealing: The cleaned root canals are filled with a biocompatible material, and the tooth is sealed with a permanent or temporary filling.
Restoration: Sometimes, a crown may be placed to restore the tooth's function and appearance.
With the use of local anesthesia, patients typically experience little to no pain during the procedure. Some discomfort or mild pain may occur after the treatment, but it can be managed with prescribed medications. Most patients find the procedure to be more comfortable than they anticipated.
The duration of a single sitting root canal treatment depends on the complexity of the case and the number of canals needed to be treated in the tooth. On average, the procedure can take 60 to 90 minutes. Your dentist will provide a more accurate estimate based on your situation.
