Hi,jatlanders...
..Dental pain or toothache is most annoying and is highly painful condition that manytimes keep u awake overnight and comes 2nd painful condition after labourpain..it is so painful that in past patients hv attempted suicide when there was no treatment available for dental pain..
..Root canal treatment is the among the most common dental treatments and most of the time is the treatment of choice when u feel dental pain or ur tooth is sensitive to hot or cold....
..next treatment of choice is the removal of tooth and sometimes the only option when the tooth is badly decayed and RCT is not possible..
..a general dentist can call u 3-4 times for single root canal while an endodontist can perform it in single sitting(40 min-1 hr)
..i m sure many of the jatlanders reading it must hv root canal done to their teeth nd had different experience with it..
..one misconception is that root canal procedure is higly painful,root canal procedure is never painful when u get it done by a root canal specialist(endodontist)..root canal procedure is highly technique sensitive and a general dentist is not so trained in performing root canal...
..i m sharing with u one animated video that shows why your tooth require root canal and how it is performed...
..cost of one root canal treatment in foreign countries e.g U.S is 1,200-2,500 u.s dollars(around rupees 70,000-1.2 lac).. and in india it varies between rupees 2000 - 10,000.
..an endodontist on an everage perform 4-5 root canal per day,so an endodontist in foreign coutries earns around 8-10,000 us dollars( 4-5 lac rupees per day) and in india 20-30 thousand rupees per day..(sad)
