During second sitting of RCT, the canal is bleeding. Why?
Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
I want to ask about canal root treatment. The tooth is 37. I visited the dentist, and he immediately started the process. He opened the tooth, and the tooth had four roots. He removed the nerves and everything. On my second visit, it was a day later, when he wanted to fill the tooth he said that two of the roots were bleeding so he could not fill them and finish the process.
Please help.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
Thanks for the query.
In case the canals are bleeding, then there is a possibility that the dentist would have gone deep beyond the root tips causing bleeding or the infection has not yet subsided. So, first of all, your dentist can fill the canals with calcium hydroxide and leave it for a week. It is an antibacterial and will help resolve the infection and will ease in filling of the root canals. Along with it, you can also be advised of a course of oral antibiotics for fixing the infection. Please send me the scan of your X-ray so that I can have a look and advise you on how to proceed further toward the most appropriate treatment. Also, please tell me if is there any pain present in the tooth on chewing or spontaneously too. Please revert with answers for further help.
I hope this helps.
Thank you.
