Rct in single sitting
Got treated in molar with single sitting rct..but I am very much anxious and depressed coz I wanted to keep my original tooth and bite entact and heal the cavity naturally. But dentist opened the tooth after scaling and said it will go in rct. Infection was less as I was having pain only once there. I read the dentist's comment that where infection is less they do single day rct. But if infection cant we go any other natural process?
Not after rct I am depressed like hell as will I be able to eat normally or even chapatis fruits everything I love like used to do before or not. As now i can't even bite or chew anything hard even chapati from that tooth...it feels like rubber is being pressed inside and I cant normally force my bite properly. I am very much depressed ...please suggest!

Hello,
If there is a cavity where the infection has reached the pulp.. Then RCT is the only choice of treatment.
Don’t worry. It’s a very minor procedure.
And yes, less infected cases where the pulp is vital.. a single sitting RCT is considered and is ideal.
Post RCT, a crown has to be placed.
After this you can eat normal diet.
With no food restrictions.
Next Steps
Talk to your dentist. Converse about the problem. A good understanding of the procedure would ease your discomfort.

Dear Patient, I understand you are anxious. Speak to your dentist again and get yourself comfortable before proceeding with any treatment.
Infected tooth whether less or more infective can be treated in single sitting as well as multiple sitting. Apart from that, the medications will be prescribed during the treatment process which will reduce the pain and inflammation.
Talk to your doctor, get the knowledge of what he/she is going to do which will the help the treatment painless and you’ll be more confident.
I hope this helps you out.

Hi,
After a root canal treatment, a cap/crown has to be placed. It will take a few days for the tooth to start feeling normal. You will be able to eat everything you wish too after a few days.
