Tooth pain can happen abruptly—sharp, shooting, and hard to ignore. It typically signifies a condition that is more severe than a cavity or sensitivity. More often than not, it is an indication that the soft tissue in your tooth, called pulp, is either inflamed or infected. If this occurs, the best treatment to permanently relieve the pain and save your natural tooth is a root canal. If you’re experiencing evidence of prolonged discomfort and pain, a root canal treatment Dubai might be just the treatment you need, to restore your comfort and confidence.
Understanding What a Root Canal Is
Root canal is a dental procedure that is performed to treat infection or trauma to the tooth. The pulp under the dentin and enamel has nerves and blood vessels that provide nourishment to the tooth. Infection of the tissue by bacteria through cracks, deep cavities, or trauma causes pain, swelling, and loss of the tooth if not treated.
Along with the root canal, the diseased pulp is sterilized and evacuated gently, and the interior of the tooth is sterilized, cleaned, and sealed. The tooth is filled and capped in an attempt to make the tooth strong once again and restore the tooth to its initial shape and functionality. The idea behind the procedure is not only to stop pain but also to preserve your own tooth and prevent transferring the infection to other parts.
When Do You Need a Root Canal?
If you are informed of the signs of infection at an early stage, then the possibility of saving your tooth is quite feasible. Aching toothache persisting for an extended time and increasing pain while biting, chronic hypersensitivity to cold or heat, gum pain or swelling, and colour change of the infected tooth are some of the earliest and most frequent signs. You might even find a small swelling on the gum next to the hurting tooth that could be an abscess.
The Root Canal Process Explained
It starts with a good dental checkup and X-rays to determine the extent of infection. Local anesthetic is used to numb the region thoroughly. The dentist then drills a small access through the tooth to get access to the infected pulp. Very delicate instruments are used, and the pulp is carefully removed and the interior of the tooth cleaned and disinfected to destroy bacteria.
Once the cleaning stage is completed, the canals are sealed with a biocompatible material and capped to reduce reinfection. Finally, the tooth is capped with a crown or filled to restore the natural beauty and function of the tooth. This whole procedure is generally done in one to two appointments depending on the condition of the infection and the health of the tooth.
Advantages of Root Canal Treatment
A root canal not only relieves you. After, your tooth will heal, and will be useful again; you will be able to eat and speak without discomfort. Best of all, it saved your natural tooth, which is always preferable to a false tooth. The treatment also stops infection from spreading to other teeth or to the jawbone, thus maintaining your oral health in overall.
Once treated, the tooth is as natural in feeling and appearance as it was before, particularly when capped with a very fitting crown. You can go back to your normal life without shyness due to missing teeth or pain due to dentures. Root canal treatment Dubai makes you fully relieved from excruciating pain that is very likely to ruin your daily routine.
Aftercare and Recovery
Temporary pain for a few days after the treatment until the tissues heal is expected. It can be treated easily by taking prescribed or over-the-counter pain medication. Please refrain from chewing on the treated side until the final permanent crown has been permanently placed. Not only does treatment, but also maintaining proper oral hygiene are both critical for an appropriate outcome. You should brush your teeth twice a day, floss as appropriate, and see you dentist to keep the tooth that was treated protected.
The Importance of Timely Care
Timely treatment of an infected tooth is extremely important. There are grave consequences as a result of wait time in treating an infected tooth. The infection can also spread to other sites in the body away from the tooth, and you may experience abscess, swelling, and loss of bone to the jawbone. In those instances, the bacteria from your dental infection has been neglected and could invade other parts of the body. Early treatment of infected teeth will keep you away from complications, as well making treatment easier and more successful.
