RCT dental – Can Ayurveda help with root canal recovery? - #16802
A few weeks ago, I started experiencing a sharp pain in my tooth whenever I ate something hot or cold. At first, I ignored it, thinking it was just sensitivity, but the pain got worse and started happening even when I wasn’t eating. Eventually, it got so bad that I had to see a dentist, and they told me I needed an RCT dental procedure because my tooth was infected. I had my RCT dental (root canal treatment) done last week, and while the intense pain is gone, my tooth still feels sore, and the surrounding gums feel slightly inflamed. I also read that even though the procedure removes the infected pulp, the tooth is technically “dead” now, which makes me wonder if there’s a way to strengthen it naturally. Does Ayurveda have any treatments that can help with post-root canal healing? Are there herbs or oils that can reduce inflammation and support gum health? I’ve heard about Triphala and clove oil for oral health—would they help in this case? Also, is there anything Ayurveda suggests for preventing future infections in other teeth? I want to make sure I’m taking care of my teeth properly so I don’t have to go through another RCT dental procedure in the future. If anyone has used Ayurvedic remedies for dental healing, I’d love to hear what worked!
