10 Tips to Avoid Root Canal Treatment

Root canal treatment is the best way to save the natural tooth and make it functionally active. In today’s world, we have lots of advanced and latest technologies with which you can go for root canal treatment in a painless and comfortable way. However, in spite of the advanced and latest technology, we understand that most people will prefer to take care of their oral health and will never prefer to experience root canal treatment.

If you are one of those people who is searching for some tips to avoid root canal treatment by maintaining proper oral hygiene, here are some tips for you.

1. 2 times proper tooth brushing –

This is the first tip, which sounds very simple, but many people skip this step at night. Many adults and children only brush in the morning, but brushing your teeth before bedtime is the best way to keep your teeth free from tooth decay.

2. Water flosser –

Water flossing is the best way to clean your interdental areas, which are not properly cleaned while brushing. Deposits in that area contribute to bad breath and also provide the bacteria and deposits with a place to hide and thrive, causing root damage and tooth decay.

3. Avoid hard foodstuffs & morning,candies –

Hard food items like nuts, chikkis, peanuts, and hard chana, lollipops, hard candies, etc. may cause crack lines in the teeth that allow bacteria to grow and may fracture your teeth in some cases of hard impact.

4. Weakened tooth –

If you already have weakened teeth or restorations done in your tooth, you should also avoid hard bite in order to prevent tooth crack or tooth fracture.

5. Avoid chewing ice cubes –

Many people feel refreshed with the taste of ice cubes in their beverages. But chewing on these ice cubes can easily fracture, crack or break your tooth or any dental filling! Once that happens, then bacteria have an easy route to reach into the nerve center of your tooth, increasing the tooth decay and sensitivity problem.

6. Wear your night guard at night –

If you have a habit of night grinding or clenching your teeth, make sure that you wear your set of night-guard to protect your teeth from fractures, cracks that can eventually expose the tooth’s surface and may make it sensitive.

7. Wear sports guards while playing sports –

For many players involved in sports activities like football and hockey, boxing, etc., mouth guards are an important part of the equipment that must be worn in order to avoid the direct impact of your teeth.

8. Avoid acidic foods and drinks (like soda preparations and citrus juices) in your diet –

These beverages present a double whammy to teeth: first, they break down enamel. Then, they saturate the tooth in sugar for bacteria to feast on! More of an acidic diet like lemons, rich fruits, soda, pickles, etc makes your teeth more prone to sensitivity by opening the dental tubules and causing the sensation to pass to the nerve.

9. Regular 6 months of dental checkups and tooth cleaning –

Proper check-ups & regular 6 months cleaning process and filling/restoration in the initial condition of tooth decay / cracked tooth can save you from the root canal treatment.

10. Get your tooth pain/sensitivity checked out immediately –

Do not ignore any toothache or sensitivity in the tooth .When the decay starts to creep up. Get it checked promptly and get your filling done in order to avoid root canal treatment. Any condition of pain/sensitivity in the tooth should be examined and proper suggestions should be followed to take care of it in order to avoid the need for root canal treatment.
