What Is a Root Canal in Dubai?
There is absolutely no need to panic if your endodontist prescribes a root canal procedure to treat your damaged or diseased tooth. Although root canal in Dubai is a serious treatment, it’s perfectly safe and millions of teeth are saved this way each year, relieving pain and making teeth healthy again.
Inside your tooth, beneath the white enamel and a hard layer called dentin, is a soft tissue called pulp. This tissue contains blood vessels, nerves, and connective tissue, which help grow the root of your tooth during its development. When this pulp is compromised by bacteria, trauma, or an infection, the pulp tissue becomes necrotic (it dies) which eventually leads to an abscess that develops as a small pocket of pus at the very base of the root.
The point of a root canal treatment is to remove infected or inflamed tooth pulp preventing additional decay and tooth loss. If you’re worried about your teeth not having a pulp after the procedure, you shouldn’t. A fully developed tooth can survive without the pulp because it continues to be nourished by the surrounding tissues.
Moreover, a root canal treatment eliminates bacteria from the infected root canal, prevents reinfection, and saves the natural tooth. The procedure can be done in 1 or 2 sittings depending on your dental condition, and it’s totally painless, especially when it’s handled by some of the best dentists in Dubai at Swedish Dental Clinic.
When is it necessary?
It’s no secret that you love your teeth and want to avoid losing them. Fear not, our endodontists in Dubai are your smile-saving superheroes.
So, what are the signs you may need to book an appointment with our root canal specialists in Dubai?
Deep and Persistent Pain
Lots of things can make your teeth hurt. But a pain deep in the tooth or that spreads to your jaw, face, or other teeth is an indication of having an infection.
Pressure Hurts
If your teeth hurt when you eat or when you touch them, this means the nerves around your tooth pulp have been damaged.
Swollen Gums
Tooth infection causes your gums to swell and feel tender, signaling the need to visit your root canal dentist.
Recurring Pimples on the Gum
Once your tooth is infected, it will start to create pimples or boils on your gums that ooze smelly pus.
Swollen Jaw
When the oozing pus caused by the infection isn’t drained properly, it builds up and leads to painful swelling of the jaw.
Discolored Teeth
Another bothersome symptom of a tooth pulp infection is discoloration. The infection keeps blood from getting to your tooth, turning your tooth dark.
Loose Teeth
Pus from an infected tooth pulp can soften the bones supporting your tooth, making your tooth feel loose.
On a rather obvious note, these symptoms and signals are incredibly serious and must not be ignored. Otherwise, you may become prone to tooth loss and require the need of a tooth extraction in Dubai.
Why Get Root Canal in Dubai?
At Swedish Dental Clinic, our endodontists in Dubai understand how dental pain can negatively impact your quality of life. Therefore, they strive to get to the root of the issue and apply countermeasures to prevent further discomfort or risk. By employing state-of-the-art technology, we provide root canal treatments that are nothing short of beneficial.
Getting a root canal procedure carries several advantages.
- A highly successful way of restoring tooth function. The procedure has an approximate success rate of over 95% when done properly.
- A painless and highly effective treatment that lasts a lifetime.
- The go-to option for tooth preservation and steering clear of extraction.
- Alleviates pain and preserves the natural tooth.
- Helps you chew efficiently without undue stress on surrounding teeth.
- Restores bite and chewing functions back to normal.
- Takes only 1-2 appointments to get done.
Procedure
A root canal procedure is relatively quick and painless. Our specialist endodontists will guide you through the steps before starting the procedure, which is usually finalized with applying a crown or a dental filling in Dubai.
- A physical examination of the tooth as well as an X-ray is used to establish the degree of infection in the pulp and the bone in the surrounding area.
- A local anesthetic is administered to the area to numb the tooth.
- A special sheet of rubber called a rubber dam is fixed around the tooth to keep it dry and free from bacteria and saliva.
- A hole is drilled into the tooth to gain access to the infected pulp. This infected pulp is then removed using very fine specialized equipment to completely remove the infection from the inside of the tooth, all the way down the length of the root canals.
- Special medical solutions are used to flush away any debris that emerges from the root canals.
- Only once the canal is completely cleaned and sealed, the tooth is either fitted with a temporary filling- if the dentist wants to wait to check if the infection has cleared- or permanently restored if all the infection has been cleared out.
- Permanent restorations usually mean white fillings and inlays for front teeth. As the posterior teeth take up more pressure on biting and chewing, installing dental crowns in Dubai is usually recommended to prevent future fractures and damage.
Aftercare Tips
After undergoing a root canal in Dubai, it’s very important to take care of your teeth and apply aftercare methods. The measures you can take to help your teeth heal faster include:
- Eating soft foods for the first few days after treatment. (Think well-cooked pasta, mashed potatoes, cottage cheese, smoothies and yogurt).
- Avoid chewing on your treated tooth if you’re waiting on your permanent crown.
- If you smoke, try to take a break after your root canal because smoking makes it harder for your tooth to heal.
- Brushing your teeth after every meal and flossing once a day.
- Using an antibacterial mouthwash to keep germs at bay.
