【Root Canal Treatment Guide】Process, Pain, Cost & Aftercare

Guide to Root Canal Treatment 全面了解杜牙根治療

💡 Quick Answer

Root canal treatment (RCT) is the only treatment that can preserve your natural tooth when the dental pulp is irreversibly infected or damaged.

Treatment process: Remove infected pulp → Clean and disinfect the root canals → Permanent sealing → Crown protection. Typically requires 2 to 3 visits, each 60 to 90 minutes.

Does it hurt? Modern root canal treatment is performed under local anaesthesia, so the procedure is essentially painless. Mild sensitivity or soreness afterwards is normal and usually subsides within 3 to 7 days.

Warning signs that require urgent attention: Spontaneous pain (especially at night), prolonged sensitivity to hot/cold over 10 seconds, sharp pain when biting, gum boil or abscess, tooth discolouration. If you experience any of these, see a dentist within 48 hours.

【Gum Swelling Solutions】5 Common Causes + Relief Methods from Dentists

Gum Swelling Causes, Treatments & Prevention 牙肉腫痛成因、預防及解決方法

💡Quick Answer

Gum swelling are most commonly caused by periodontitis from plaque buildup. Other common causes include tooth decay infection, wisdom tooth pericoronitis, food impaction, and weakened immunity.

Mild cases can be relieved with a warm saltwater rinse (half a teaspoon of salt in a cup of warm water, 2–3 times daily) and gentle cleaning with a soft-bristled toothbrush.

However, if swelling persists beyond 3–5 days, or is accompanied by fever, facial swelling, or pus, see a dentist within 24 hours to prevent the infection from spreading.

Teeth Cleaning: Process, Pricing, Recommended Frequency, and Aftercare

洗牙全面指南：為何你需要定期洗牙？過程、好處與迷思一次看懂 Teeth Cleaning: Understand the Process, Benefits, and Myths All at Once.

💡 Quick Answers

Teeth cleaning (clinical term: scaling) is a standard preventive procedure in which a registered dentist or dental hygienist uses medical-grade instruments to remove dental plaque and tartar. It is the cornerstone of periodontal disease prevention.

Will it hurt? For healthy gums, the cleaning process is generally painless — you may notice only a light vibrating sensation. If the gums are inflamed or tartar has accumulated heavily, there may be mild tenderness or slight bleeding, which is a normal response and typically resolves within a few days.

How often should you have your teeth cleaned? Most people benefit from cleaning every six months. Higher-risk groups (smokers, people with diabetes, pregnant women, those undergoing orthodontic treatment) are generally advised to attend every three to four months.

Why can't brushing replace professional cleaning? Dental plaque calcifies into tartar within 48 to 72 hours. Once formed, no home-care tool can remove it — only professional medical instruments can. Left untreated over time, tartar leads to gum recession, bone loss, and eventually tooth mobility.
