Endodontics or root canal treatment
Endodontics is a field of dentistry that specializes in the study and treatment of root canal disease, particularly chronic pulpitis and periodontitis.
If the caries process has gone too far, it affects the internal structures of the tooth, and consequently the inflammation spreads beyond the tooth to the surrounding tissues. In this case it is necessary to treat the root canals of the tooth.
What is caries?
Evenually, caries is a process of decay that destroys hard dental tissue. Initial tooth decay is unnoticeable, but in its second stage you may notice dark spots on the teeth. If this stage is neglected, the process may result in complications (pulpitis), and destroy the tooth. There are several types of dental caries, classified by specialists into different groups according to the nature of the affected tooth tissue, localization or severity of the process (hidden and acute dental caries).
Stages of tooth decay
The first stage of dental caries is characterized by the formation of a light yellowish stain on the tooth enamel. You may feel no discomfort at this time, but that does not mean that you should not pay attention to the spots that appear.
At the next stage of decay, the damage spreads from the enamel to dentin, the main tissue of the tooth, which is much softer than the enamel. At this stage, tooth decay can very quickly reach a deep stage, so it is better not to postpone the treatment of caries. By this time, you may notice dark spots, shallow cavities, and experience a nagging pain in the affected tooth. As a result, the pain may occur when eating sweet or sour foods, or when a person is exposed to hot or cold foods.
Deep cavities cause severe pain when eating hot and cold foods, as well as when exposed to sweet, salty and sour foods. If the pain goes away after 10-15 minutes, it means that the decay has not yet developed into pulpitis, and the diseased tooth has a chance to be saved. Another indicator that tooth decay has reached its final stage can be bad breath caused by the active spread of pathogenic bacteria.

RCT stands for Root Canal Treatment, a dental procedure that treats infection at the center of a tooth (the root canal system). It’s designed to eliminate bacteria from the infected pulp to prevent reinfection and save the natural tooth.
A root canal is needed when the tooth’s pulp becomes infected or inflamed due to deep decay, repeated dental procedures on the tooth, faulty crowns, or a crack or chip in the tooth. Symptoms might include pain, prolonged sensitivity to heat or cold, tenderness to touch and chewing, discoloration of the tooth, and swelling.
During RCT, the dentist or endodontist (a dentist specializing in root canals) removes the infected or inflamed pulp, carefully cleans and shapes the inside of the canal, a channel inside the root, then fills and seals the space. Afterward, you will return to your dentist, who will place a crown or other restoration on the tooth to protect and restore it to full function.
Root canal procedures have the reputation of being painful. However, most people report that the procedure itself is no more painful than having a filling placed. The discomfort experienced in the period leading up to seeking dental care is truly painful, not the root canal treatment itself.
The canals are typically filled with a material called gutta-percha, a rubber-like material that compresses and fills the canal space, preventing bacteria from re-entering. The tooth may then be capped with a crown to protect it.
RCT is critically important for maintaining oral health as it stops the infection from spreading to other teeth, which can impact overall health and well-being. Removing the infection also preserves the affected tooth, important for chewing and normal mouth function.
Ignoring the need for RCT can lead to severe infection, an abscess, or even spread to the blood vessels and other areas of the body. The tooth may eventually need to be removed.
With proper care, most teeth that have had root canal treatment can last a lifetime. Keeping up with oral hygiene and regular checkups is essential.
