5 Usual Causes of Pain after Root Canal Treatment
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.

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 in Jaipur Inflammation after the
operation 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 Jaipur for the
appropriate actions- medical or
surgical. 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
bodys immune system starts fighting against it.
If the infection spreads too much, the most
proficient dentist in Jaipur will prescribe
antibiotics.

The dose and the consumption of the antibiotics
will be prescribed by the dentist on a
per-patient basis. Too large filling 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 the
operation. Incomplete root canal The molar teeth
have multiple canals, and during the RCT
procedure, each of them needs to be thoroughly
cleaned. In Nawals Dental Clinic, the most
skilled dental specialist endodontist in Jaipur
ensures 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 the RCT. 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
acidic food. Damage to the neighboring
tissues During a root canal procedure, the tissue
can get damaged in several ways. Some of the
ways can be listed as

• If bacteria or other contaminating organisms get
  introduced into the oral cavity.
• 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 underlying
  tissue.
• 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. In case of constant
  and ongoing pain, it is better to consult the
  dentists of Nawals Dental Clinic, the most
  liked institution for root canal repair in

• The mishaps occurring during the operation do
  cause pain and discomfort in the patient.

  their oral cavity and maintain dental hygiene.
  Brushing and flossing after the main meals is a
  good practice and should be continued. Also, the
  patient should stick to the prescribed
  medication schedule, if any, and consume the
  foods which dont damage the filling or the teeth
  operated on. It is best to consult the skilled
  dentists of Nawals Dental Clinic providing
