Root canal therapy (RCT) is a fine treatment method for nerve infection in teeth. It can not only help patients alleviate the problems caused by tooth pain and inflammation, but also pay attention to some dietary taboos during the treatment process to ensure that the treatment effect and oral health reach a good state. So, what dietary problems should we pay attention to in root canal therapy? Next, let's discuss it!
1、 Dietary taboos during root canal therapy
Avoid hard food. Such as nuts, hard candy and bread with hard skin. Because these hard objects may cause further damage to the teeth just receiving treatment. Spicy food such as pepper, ginger and garlic should also be avoided as far as possible, because they may aggravate the inflammatory reaction and pain in the mouth, thus affecting the treatment effect.
Be careful with too cold or too hot food and drinks. Too cold food and drinks may cause irritation to teeth and oral mucosa, causing discomfort; However, overheated food and drinks may make teeth more fragile, easy to crack or damage. Patients should choose appropriate temperature to protect their teeth during treatment.
In addition, acidic food and drinks should also be properly controlled. Such as citrus fruits, vinegar, ketchup, etc. These foods and drinks may corrode the surface of teeth, aggravate the abrasion and damage of teeth, thus affecting the treatment effect.
After that, pay attention to foods and drinks with heavy pigment. Such as coffee, tea, cola and other drinks containing pigment. These foods and drinks may stain the teeth and affect the beauty and use effect of the teeth.
To sum up the above points, patients should follow the principle of avoiding hard things, spicy food, too cold or overheated food, acidic food and pigmented heavy food during root canal treatment. It is very important to maintain good personal oral hygiene habits, including brushing teeth on time, correctly using dental floss, crevice brushes and other oral health care products. In case of any abnormality during the treatment, timely communicate with the dentist.
2、 Reimbursement of root canal therapy expenses
As for the reimbursement of root canal treatment expenses, first of all, it is necessary to understand the specific insurance policies of the region. Many insurance companies provide dental insurance, but different insurance companies may have different reimbursement scope and reimbursement proportion. Before receiving treatment, it is necessary to communicate with the insurance company to understand the specific reimbursement policy.
In addition to commercial insurance, you can also focus on the dental insurance plan provided. For example, the "dental care plan" provided in some areas may provide residents with free or low-cost basic dental care services. If you are a local resident, you can make full use of this insurance plan to reduce the economic burden.
In order to further reduce the pressure of treatment costs, patients can also find some low-cost dental clinics for treatment. These clinics often provide more affordable treatment than traditional dental clinics. It is also advisable to ask the dentist if there are any preferential activities or suggestions before receiving treatment.
Through the above methods, patients can not only get some financial support, but also get more intimate and professional services in the treatment process. In the face of root canal therapy, we should not only pay attention to the treatment effect, but also pay attention to various details in the treatment process to ensure that our rights and interests are fully protected.
