• A root canal is one of the most common dental
  treatments to prevent cavities and sustain good
  oral hygiene. Decades ago, the only way to get
  rid of the tooth cavity was tooth extraction, in
  which the doctor removed the decayed tooth. With
  the advancements associated with root canal
  treatment, patients can seal the cavity and
  preserve their natural teeth.
• Many people wonder whether tooth extraction or
  root canal treatment is safe for their oral
  health. Our Dentist in Pimpri Chinchwad suggests
  people consult our expert dentists, and they
  shall examine your oral health to determine the
  right dental treatment. If your dentist has
  already recommended root canal treatment for your
  dental complications, you should know a few
  things before visiting the doctor.

• What is root canal treatment?
• A root canal refers to a dental condition in
  which the roots or teeth' interior get either
  injured or diseased. The pulp associated with the
  root canal contains a large number of blood
  vessels and is a nutrient provider. Any injury
  that occurred on the pulp surface can lead to
  extreme pain, and dentists may recommend a root
  canal treatment.
• A root canal treatment involves a removal process
  in which the diseased pulp gets removed, and the
  cavity is sealed to preserve your natural teeth.
  Many people consider tooth extraction against the
  root canal as they believe a root canal
  treatment can adversely affect their health. It
  is not true. Root canal treatment becomes
  necessary in the following situation
• Tooth sensitivity Pain while eating or drinking
  hot/cold food items
• Severe toothache while chewing food from the
  infected side of your mouth
• Discoloured teeth Teeth turning into yellow or
  brown colour
• Gum bleeding while grabbing a bite or brushing
  and flossing
• Swelling or redness occurred on the infected side
  of the gums.

• Is root canal treatment a good or bad option for
  my teeth?
• As mentioned earlier, root canal treatment
  becomes mandatory when the damaged tooth
  threatens other teeth. A damaged or decayed
  tooth, if left untreated, can spread among other
  teeth and increase the risk of tooth infection
  or, in the worst scenario, oral cancer. Delayed
  root canal treatment may also cause
  health-related severe issues such as diabetes,
  heart disease, and cancer.

  dentist for Root canal treatment in Pimpri

  root canal, tooth extraction, or tooth removal

• Final Thoughts
• Root canal treatment is a partially painless
  procedure. Your doctor may operate on your teeth
  after applying a mild sedative to numb the
  treatment region. You may feel a little pain
  after the completion of the treatment, which may
  last for 1-2 weeks. Your dentist will prescribe
  some medicines to ease the discomfort. For the
  first few weeks, you must avoid eating food items
  that are hard to chew. Include more fluid such as
  fresh juice and water in your diet to balance
  your body's nutrients and speed up the healing
  process.
