One of the most diagnosed dental diseases in both adults and children is tooth decay. In the later stage, the tooth decay enters the tooth pulp and nerve, causing a root canal infection. Root canal treatment is the ultimate therapy for this condition. It is a procedure that involves the removal of the infected nerves and pulp.
Also known as endodontic therapy, root canal treatment is a pain relief procedure. It can make the patient feel relieved from extreme pain caused by the infection in the mouth. Undergoing root canal treatment at the right time can help stop the spread of infection and save the adjacent teeth in the mouth. At New Dental Center, our expert dentist in Al Ain will ensure you have the impressive treatment experience.
Here are a few signs that show you may need root canal therapy:
On visiting the dental clinic, our dentist in Al Ain will initiate your dental checkup by taking the X-Ray of the infected tooth. It helps to show the extent of infection in the tooth.
After that, you will be made to sit comfortably on the dental chair. We will provide local anaesthesia, which helps to numb the infected tooth. The dentist will use a dental tool to create a small access hole on the tooth to reach the tooth pulp and remove the infected nerves and tissues. The root canal is cleaned and disinfected before inserting rubber-like materials into the empty canals. We will also seal the tooth with a dental filling, which protects the tooth from further infection.
In most of the cases, our patients may require a final restoration in the form of a dental crown to complete the procedure.
Root canal treatment offer numerous benefits, such as:
The patient may experience some discomfort after the treatment, which can be reduced through over-the-counter prescribed medications.
The dentist may advise the patient to avoid putting pressure on the tooth for a week. They are also instructed to avoid smoking as it can hamper the healing process and cause reverse effects.
