Root canal treatment with the laser
Root canal treatment can also be performed with a dental laser. This is an alternative to the standard version using manual or electrical devices. The thin glass fiber of the laser is inserted into the root canal and acts where it is guided.
A pinpoint effect is possible: microorganisms are killed by a targeted heat development, as they are not heat stable. The surrounding tissue is spared. In the long term, the prognosis of the tooth can be improved by treatment with a laser.
Root canal treatment with homeopathy
A tooth that is to undergo root canal treatment causes unpleasant pain that is permanently present and can restrict everyday life. The bacteria have penetrated the inside of the tooth and the inflamed tissue presses on the nerve, causing the pain. During the treatment to remove the inflamed pulp, the tooth must be anaesthetized as the pain becomes too strong.
During pregnancy, however, one does not have to be afraid to undergo the treatment without anesthesia, because prilocaine and lidocaine preparations may also be used during pregnancy. Thus, apart from a slight feeling of pressure, you will not feel any pain during the procedure. Possible ambient noises and noises and forces on the tooth caused by the treatment are rather unpleasant in this situation.
After the root canal treatment, which is terminated in pregnancy without a definitive filling, pain may still occur. In most cases, however, this pain is completely normal and is part of the healing process. Only in very few cases, the healing process is completely painless and you can consider yourself lucky to be one of them.
The body begins to regenerate and the healing of the wound is associated with pain, but the intensity of the pain is less than with an untreated tooth. The focus of a root canal treatment during pregnancy is primarily on stopping the pain. The definitive treatment is only carried out after the birth of the child.
The area around the tooth has been heavily stressed by the treatment. The tooth and tissue may also be damaged by irritation, which must be given time to recover. It is not possible to say exactly how long the pain will last.
It varies from person to person and depends on the initial situation. In the case of larger inflammations, the pain can last for a longer period of time. As a rule, one assumes a few days, but in individual cases it can also last for several weeks.
Immediately after the procedure, swelling and especially pain when biting together can occur, so that one should first rely on mushy food. However, if the pain does not subside, the patient should visit the dentist again, as there is a possibility that bacteria may still remain in the canal, causing a new inflammation. During pregnancy, one is more susceptible to caries due to the change in hormonal balance that can affect the composition of saliva. It is best to perform the necessary dental treatments before pregnancy.
