Root Canal Treatment in Sharjah

Treat the Cause of Tooth Pain and Help Save the Tooth

Severe tooth pain, lingering sensitivity or swelling can sometimes mean the tissue inside a tooth has become inflamed or infected.

At Dr. Dalia Siddig Medical Center in Al Majaz, Sharjah, root canal treatment is used to remove the affected tissue, clean the inside of the tooth and help preserve the natural tooth where possible.

The first step is finding out what is causing the pain and whether root canal treatment is actually needed.

What Is Root Canal Treatment?

Inside each tooth is soft tissue known as the dental pulp.

If this tissue becomes badly inflamed or infected, root canal treatment may be recommended.

During the procedure, the affected pulp is removed and the root canals are cleaned, disinfected, filled and sealed.

Root canal treatment may be needed because of:

  • Deep tooth decay
  • A cracked or chipped tooth
  • Repeated dental treatment on the same tooth
  • Problems beneath an existing restoration
  • Dental trauma
  • Infection involving the pulp

After treatment, the tooth may need a filling, crown or another restoration to return it to normal function.

When Should You Have a Tooth Checked?

Arrange a dental assessment if you experience:

  • Persistent toothache
  • Pain when biting or chewing
  • Lingering sensitivity to hot or cold
  • Swelling around a tooth
  • Tender or swollen gums
  • A cracked or broken tooth
  • Deep decay
  • A small swelling or pimple-like area on the gum
  • A tooth that has changed colour

These symptoms do not always mean you need a root canal, but they are worth checking.

What Happens During Root Canal Treatment?

1. Dental Assessment

Your dentist examines the painful tooth and discusses your symptoms.

2. Diagnostic Tests

X-rays or other tests may be used to check the tooth, roots and surrounding tissues.

3. Local Anaesthesia

The area is numbed before treatment begins.

4. Cleaning the Root Canals

The affected pulp is removed and the inside of the tooth is carefully cleaned and disinfected.

5. Filling & Sealing

The cleaned canals are filled and sealed to reduce the risk of reinfection.

6. Restoring the Tooth

Depending on how much tooth structure remains, the tooth may need a filling, crown or another restoration after the root canal is completed.

What Happens During Dental Implant Treatment?

1. Consultation

Your teeth, gums, bite and missing-tooth area are examined. Imaging may also be needed.

2. Planning

The dentist decides the best implant position and whether any additional preparation is required.

3. Implant Placement

The implant is placed in the jaw under local anaesthesia.

4. Healing

The area is given time to heal before the final restoration is fitted.

5. Final Tooth

A crown, bridge or other restoration is attached once healing is complete.

If there is not enough suitable bone, bone grafting may be recommended before implant placement.

Benefits of Root Canal Treatment

Root canal treatment can help:

  • Relieve pain caused by inflammation or infection inside the tooth
  • Remove infected or damaged pulp
  • Help preserve the natural tooth
  • Restore chewing comfort once the tooth is properly restored
  • Prevent the internal infection from progressing
  • Avoid extraction when the tooth can be predictably saved

Keeping a natural tooth can also help maintain normal chewing and avoid creating a new gap that later needs replacement.

Root Canal or Tooth Extraction?

Both may be discussed when a tooth is badly damaged or infected.

Root Canal Treatment

May allow the natural tooth to remain when enough healthy structure and support are still present.

Tooth Extraction

May be required when the tooth is too damaged, fractured or compromised to restore predictably.

The decision depends on the condition of the tooth, root, surrounding bone and remaining healthy structure.

Frequently Asked Questions About Root Canal Treatment

The procedure is performed under local anaesthesia. Some temporary tenderness may occur afterward, but treatment is intended to relieve the pain caused by inflammation or infection inside the tooth.

No. Tooth pain can have several causes. Your dentist needs to examine the tooth before deciding which treatment is required.

Some teeth need a crown for additional protection, while others may be restored differently. It depends on the tooth, its location and how much healthy structure remains.

Sometimes. It depends on the location and extent of the crack and whether the remaining tooth can be restored successfully.

Antibiotics alone do not remove infected or irreversibly damaged pulp from inside a tooth. Your dentist will determine whether medication is needed alongside definitive dental treatment.

The number of visits depends on the tooth and the complexity of the case. Your dentist can explain the expected sequence after the initial assessment.
