Root Canal Treatment in Dubai
Who should Undergo Root Canal Procedure?
In general, the tooth is made of a crown and roots. The roots lie underneath the gum, and they attach the tooth to the jawbone. However, a root canal is the pulp of the tooth, which consists of nerve tissue, blood vessels, and other cells. The pulp sustains and nourishes the tooth, and the nerves within it trigger pain when sensing hot or cold temperatures.
In situations where the pulp of a tooth gets damaged, it becomes unable to repair itself. Moreover, bacteria could go into the pulp if the tooth has a severe cavity. With time, the bacteria could destroy the pulp, and if left untreated, this could lead to bone infection. Therefore, patients undergo a root canal treatment to save the tooth and prevent any further pain sensation. Saving the tooth is the ultimate solution as nothing functions as well as a natural tooth. However, if it is impossible to save the tooth, the next right option is getting a dental implant.
How is Root Canal Procedure Done?
There are three steps to carry out the procedure and save the tooth. The procedure starts with the dentist removing everything inside the root canal. The patient is under local anesthesia, and the dentist penetrates the surface of the tooth. Through this penetration, the dentist creates a hole to access the damaged pulp tissue and remove it.
Afterward, the dentist disinfects the pulp and washes out all the bacteria using a special solution. The dentist then fills the tooth with a material similar to rubber and seals the canals entirely. Once the root canal procedure has been performed, the tooth becomes dead. The patient does not feel any pain after this step. From this point on, the tooth gets nourishment from the ligament attaching it to the bone. While this nourishment is sufficient, the tooth will become more and more fragile with time. Therefore, placing a crown preserves the tooth, which is the final step.
Endodontic Treatments in Dubai
Endodontic procedures involve treatments of the teeth’s inner tissue, also known as the pulp or nerve. Endodontists carry out procedures for patients to save their teeth and eliminate infections. The most common endodontic procedure is root canal treatment. Patients know they need to carry out a root canal procedure when they feel tooth sensitivity, pain, tooth discoloration, and swelling in the gums. However, an X-ray scan shows better where any disinfections might be to diagnose patients properly.
The second most common endodontic procedure is an apicoectomy, which is a surgical procedure. In most cases, a root canal procedure should be sufficient to save an infected tooth from extraction. However, sometimes it may be insufficient and a surgical procedure, apicoectomy, must be carried out to save the tooth.
Advantages of Microscopes in Endodontics
Using a dental microscope to get a maximized, bright vision of a tooth’s situation is highly essential. This is specifically crucial in specialties within the dentistry field such as endodontics and oral surgery. For which treatments in the endodontics specialty are microscopes useful? Endodontists cannot treat a tooth without getting a comprehensive, clear view of it. With a microscope, it is more possible to preserve the tooth at risk. Moreover, an endodontic retreatment due to potential future infections is performed using a microscope to completely eliminate the root cause and mitigate further future complications.

Frequently Asked Questions
With modern techniques and varied local anesthetic solutions, it is rare to have any sensation in the tooth during treatment. For the first few days after treatment, It is normal for your tooth to be sensitive to biting. This discomfort can be relieved with over-the-counter or prescription medications in order to control normal post-treatment discomfort.
The amount of time a procedure takes depends on the details of the procedure you’re having and the type of tooth involved. We estimate your time in the clinic to last approximately 1-2 hours. The treatment itself can often be completed in one visit. At times, a second appointment may be needed.
Avoid hot liquids and chewing food until your anesthetic has worn off and avoid biting or chewing directly on the tooth for the next few days, to promote quick healing, also avoid sticky foods like jelly beans or gum since they may loosen or remove the temporary filling that was placed. If the temporary filling feels loose or completely falls out, call us as it may need to be replaced.
Saving your natural teeth, if possible, is the very best option. Nothing can completely replace your natural tooth. An artificial tooth can sometimes cause you to avoid certain foods. Keeping your own teeth is important so that you can continue to enjoy the wide variety of foods necessary to maintain the proper nutrient balance in your diet. If your dentist recommends extraction, ask whether root canal treatment is an option.
When your root canal treatment has been completed, you will need a follow-up restoration within 30 days of completion at our clinic. Your dentist will decide on what type of restoration is necessary to protect your tooth.
It is extremely important that you return to your dentist for permanent restoration of the tooth, unless otherwise stated. We recommend contacting your dentist within 1-2 weeks after treatment. Failure to return to your restorative dentist may result in re-infection of the root canal or loss of tooth due to breakdown.
