An endodontic treatment or a root canal therapy, as it is known, is a sequence of treatment for the infected tooth which results in the elimination of infection and the protection of the cleaned tooth from future bacterial attack. Left untreated, the injured pulp of a tooth can cause an infection that will harm the bone around the tooth and cause swelling and discomfort. If the injured tooth becomes infected, our endodontists in Dubai may have to execute an endodontic treatment, frequently called root canal therapy in order to save it. This kind of method contains both primary and secondary endodontic treatments as well as periarticular operation, as applied to the teeth that the doctor considers they can be saved.

Endodontic treatment procedure
The endodontic treatment involves opening the tooth, eliminating the injured pulp, washing, shaping, filling, and closing the tooth. First of all, local anesthesia will be administrated to numb the tooth and the nearby soft tissue. If the pulp of the tooth is intensely irritated and, for that reason it is very painful, it may take a while to get it numb and our Dubai dentist will not proceed with the treatment if you still feel pain. Depending on how injured the tooth is, you may be put on medication before the endodontist in Dubai can start to work. Here is an infographic with extra details:
Endodontic therapy, a non-painful method
Most people consider endodontic treatment is a painful and disturbing process, but in fact, a root canal technique is really no more painful than having a filling placed or a dental crown. Once cured, the tooth should last a very long time. Please keep in mind that our team of doctors will always recommend to their patients to preserve good oral hygiene.
Our team of endodontists in Dubai uses high standard technology which includes imaging to identify root canal complications, ultrasonic instrumentation to eliminate deep-rooted canal fillings, and operating microscopes to precisely find, visualize and cover the root canal systems. And before anything else, the dentist or the endodontist will check-up the medical record and the existing prescriptions for every patient, in order to offer a safe treatment.
Who needs endodontic therapy?
Patients with a cracked tooth, untreated deep decay, and root opening, where bacteria made enough damage, are subject to endodontic treatments that can be made in our modern dental clinics in Dubai. Even if bacteria destroyed the pulp, there are still chances to repair the injured tooth and restore the denture’s main attributes.
Please keep in mind that a tooth left untreated means that the infection can spread and can make the tooth unstable. Instead of thinking about how painful this treatment is and why you are afraid to see the dentist, you should consider repairing the problematic tooth if you do not want to affect the healthy teeth surrounding it. And let us remind you that each kind of treatment provided by our endodontist in Dubai is performed under local anesthesia without having to worry about the pain.

Ask for dental implants if endodontic treatment is not suggested
It is true, there are many patients who cannot and won’t see the dentist, even if the pain is unbearable and the tooth or teeth are severely damaged. In such cases, the endodontist in Dubai can suggest a tooth extraction if a root canal treatment won’t solve the problem. Tooth extractions are made only if the doctor considers that the tooth can no longer be saved. Also, a tooth extraction, no matter if it is made with surgical procedures or not, is performed after certain medical investigations including the ones to see if the patient is a good candidate for local anesthesia. Once the problematic tooth has been eliminated, you can ask for dental implants in Dubai, a proper solution to regain the smile and the health of the denture.

Why choose an endodontic treatment in Dubai?
The root canal treatment or endodontic therapy is one of the most important procedures where a decayed or chipped tooth can be saved. The entire procedure is made under local anesthesia, after suitable dental X-rays to see the status of the tooth, if the nerve is broken, or if the decay is too deep. If the infection is identified, the Dubai dentist will start cleaning the roots, and will remove the bacteria and the decay, with the root canal procedure. Then material fillings will be added to close the cavity and a dental crown will be put on top to cover the tooth.
Choosing an endodontic treatment in Dubai means avoiding the possibility to lose or to extract the tooth. These can be the last options if there is nothing left to do with the decayed tooth or teeth. And if a tooth extraction will be made, the endodontist in Dubai will suggest alternatives like successful dental implants in Dubai, in order to avoid the migration of the teeth.

Dental X-rays before an endodontic treatment
Endodontic treatment cannot commence without a complete analysis of a dental X-ray. Such images can reveal the status of the denture and all the dental problems that cannot be discovered by a simple verification of the mouth.
