RCT Treatment - Can Ayurveda Help in Healing After a Root Canal? - #16494
I recently had an RCT treatment done on one of my molars due to a deep cavity that was causing severe pain. The dentist recommended RCT treatment to save the tooth, and while the procedure itself wasn’t as painful as I expected, I’ve been having discomfort ever since. My tooth still feels sensitive, and sometimes I get a dull aching sensation that spreads to my jaw. Before getting the RCT treatment, I tried to manage the pain with home remedies like clove oil and warm salt water rinses, but nothing helped. Now, even after the procedure, I’m experiencing inflammation around the gums near the treated tooth. My dentist said it could be due to the healing process, but I feel like it’s not improving. I was also given antibiotics, but I prefer to avoid them unless absolutely necessary. I have heard that Ayurveda has natural ways to support dental health and post-RCT treatment healing. Are there specific Ayurvedic remedies to reduce inflammation and pain after an RCT treatment? Can herbs or medicated oils help prevent reinfection and strengthen the treated tooth? Also, I’m worried about the long-term effects of RCT treatment. I read somewhere that dead teeth can become breeding grounds for bacteria. Does Ayurveda have a different perspective on this? Are there dietary changes or specific herbs that can help maintain oral health after an RCT treatment? Lastly, I’ve noticed some digestive issues after taking the medications post-RCT treatment. Could this be related? Is there a way to detoxify my system using Ayurvedic principles after taking antibiotics? I would love to hear from anyone who has used Ayurveda for dental healing, especially after an RCT treatment. Any home remedies or lifestyle tips would be really helpful!
