Top 8 Benefits Of Root Canal Treatment

You can experience pain, sensitivity, and inflammation in your tooth due to decay or an untreated accident that may escalate to infection. The worst part of a toothache is that it triggers 10x at night. In most cases the only option for relief is a Root Canal Treatment. Unfortunately, people tend to avoid this solution till the pain is unbearable.


The reluctance to proceed with this or the need to search for other options is typically because of misinformation or lack of knowledge. Here we will try to decode the need for an RCT and its benefits.

Why Do Dentists Recommend Root Canal?

When decay gets deep into the tooth root, there is a high chance of infection contamination that spreads out. The pain can worsen and end up affecting your smile/ appearance and oral mobility.


As part of the RCT procedure, we remove the infected pulp and recommend capping it off to eliminate the need for tooth extraction. As the pulp gets infected, the life of that tooth deteriorates and you feel less sensitive. The radiating pain that you tolerate will seem more prominent to the nearby teeth.

Root Canal Treatment: The Natural Dental Safety Guard

Root canal treatment (RCT), also known as Endodontic Therapy, is mainly used to save and preserve your natural tooth. In simple words, this treatment focuses on treating the infected pulp and the gum area eroded by bacteria.

The bacteria penetrate through deep cavities and cracks causing dental trauma. With this therapy, your dentist will remove the infected pulp, clean the canal, and seal it to prevent reinfection.



8 Benefits Of Root Canal Treatment

1. Eliminates Chronic Pain

Dental pain can get extremely unbearable. Beneath the gum area, our teeth are connected to sensitive blood vessels, so it is very normal to experience excruciating pain not only by the jawline but by the ear and head as well. The RCT will help you get relief from severe pain.

2. Prevents Infection

As mentioned earlier our teeth nerves are connected below the gum belt, and bacterial infection or decay that is capable enough to damage the pulp, can gradually spread widely.

In the process, your infected pulp will be removed and treated with an anti-microbial solution. The hollow is filled with a biocompatible filling called gutta-percha which will help prevent further complications and infection spread.

3. Upheld Teeth Alignment

When a tooth is extracted, adjacent teeth can shift or tilt, leading to bite problems and misalignment. Root canal treatment prevents these issues by preserving the tooth’s natural position and preventing unnecessary tooth movement. This preserves the overall harmony and alignment of your teeth, ensuring a healthy and functional bite.

4. Root Canal Preserves Natural Smile

When your tooth pulp is infected, it leads to discoloration. If you delay the treatment you can end up having black teeth. Even teeth whitening treatment won’t work, as over time, you will lose the natural enamel.

On the contrary, your root canal specialist can preserve your natural tooth and with the help of crowning followed by RCT can let you have your natural smile.

5. Psychological Benefit

Preserving natural teeth through RCT has significant psychological and emotional benefits. Wondering how?! Well, losing a tooth can impact your self-confidence, disrupt speech, and the ability to chew comfortably. By opting for a root canal treatment, you not only maintain your natural smile, but ensure smooth oral mobility, which positively enhances your overall well-being, selfesteem, and quality of life.

6. Virtually Pain Free Procedures

Root canal treatment is virtually painless and often leaves you with less discomfort during recovery than if you have your natural teeth extracted.

Thanks to the Modern techniques and effective anaesthesia.

7. Efficient and cost effective

Tooth extraction can take longer than root canal treatment and follow-up appointments required for a denture, bridge or an implant, plus the cost may be higher.

8. Visually appealing result

Crowns not only function like natural teeth; they look great too.

Final Thoughts

So, whether you have decay just on the outer layer of the tooth or it has penetrated deep, getting a dental scaling or a root canal treatment is always safer and recommended than tooth extraction.
