The root canal is the hallow
part of the tooth that contains the pulp (nerve).
If this part become infected, our Dubai Dental
clinic team can perform root canal treatment
which is done by the removal of that pulp
through a hole made in the tooth using rotary
instrumentation technique filling the space
of the pulp using the therma fill technique.
Root canal treatment is needed for two main
reasons. The first is infection. An untreated
cavity is a common cause of pulp infection.
The decay erodes the enamel and dentin of
the tooth until it reaches a root canal. This
allows bacteria to infect the pulp. Antibiotics
can't get to infections inside teeth. The
inflammation caused by the infection reduces
the blood supply to the tooth. The reduced
blood supply also keeps the pulp from healing.
The second reason for a root canal is damage
to the pulp that can't be fixed. Trauma or
a fractured tooth can damage the pulp. So
can a lot of restoration, such as several
fillings placed in the same tooth over a period
of time. Sometimes, common dental procedures,
such as preparing a tooth for a dental crown,
can hurt the pulp. Then the tooth might need
a root canal.
