  1. 5 Usual Causes of Pain afterRoot CanalTreatment Root canal treatment or RCT is mainly a preservative procedure. In earlier cases, extraction was the only available treatment to get rid of the problems caused by an infected tooth. In RCT, the dentist drills the tooth and clears the channel inside of the infected and purulent pulp matter. This procedure ensures that the patient can use their original teeth in the day-to-day functions, as much as possible.

  2. Infection in the pulp is the main source of the pain, however, this procedure allows the developed teeth to continue their job without the infected pulp. Still, pain in the oral cavity after a root canal treatment is not unheard of. Let us know five of the reasons where we may have to consult the most proficient dental specialist endodontist inJaipur: Inflammation after theoperation One of the commonest causes of pain after a root canal treatment is the inflammation occurring in the oral cavity, site of the RCT, or the enamel itself. Mainly two types of the phenomenon are found to be responsible for this event; either the operation itself causes the inflammation in the teeth, or secondary infection by different bacteria in the tooth ligament can cause the painful inflammation. In both cases, the swelling is observed to subside within a few days on its own. If the pain and the swelling persists, it is time to consult the most effective dentist in Jaipurfor the appropriate actions- medical orsurgical. Infection This reason is associated with the first one mentioned here. Secondary infection by different bacteria can cause pain in the oral cavity of the patient. The infection may occur during the operation of the teeth, or the infected pulp may be left behind by the dentist after the operation. In either case, the offending bacteria cause an infection inside the dental cavity and this can cause immense pain in the dental regions. Like the swelling, the infection can also reduce after some time as the body’s immune system starts fighting against it. If the infection spreads too much, the most proficient dentist in Jaipur will prescribeantibiotics.

  3. The dose and the consumption of the antibiotics will be prescribed by the dentist on a per-patientbasis. Too largefilling During the RCT procedure, the dentist takes out the infected pulp and cleans the channels completely. After the operation is done, the space will be filled with a rubber-like material. This material, if used more than the needed amount, causes the treated tooth to sit higher. In this condition, the patient will feel pain in the tooth whenever he or she bites down. Contrary to inflammation or infection, this pain will not reduce on its own. However, the dentist can adjust the filling to counter this particular issue during theoperation. Incomplete rootcanal The molar teeth have multiple canals, and during the RCT procedure, each of them needs to be thoroughly cleaned. In Nawal’s Dental Clinic, the most skilled dental specialist endodontist in Jaipurensures complete treatment without any problem. However, if all the canals are not cleaned somehow, or the doctor misses some of the damaged nerves which ought to be taken out, the patient will experience pain after theRCT. In both cases, the initial pain will not subside easily and the patient will experience pain when the teeth come in contact with any hot, cold, or acidicfood. Damage to the neighboringtissues During a root canal procedure, the tissue can get damaged in several ways. Some of the ways can be listedas:

  4. If bacteria or other contaminating organisms get introduced into the oralcavity. • The filling material is used in excess and the flow crosses the root tip. • The surgical instruments used in the RCT slips beyond the root tip and pokes the underlyingtissue. • In all the above-mentioned cases, the pain in the tooth resolves by itself. The injury in the tissues will need to be healed. The dentist may prescribe painkillers and antibiotics in case of extreme pain and discomfort.
