Root Canal Treatment

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.
