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.
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:
After treatment, the tooth may need a filling, crown or another restoration to return it to normal function.
Arrange a dental assessment if you experience:
These symptoms do not always mean you need a root canal, but they are worth checking.
Your dentist examines the painful tooth and discusses your symptoms.
X-rays or other tests may be used to check the tooth, roots and surrounding tissues.
The area is numbed before treatment begins.
The affected pulp is removed and the inside of the tooth is carefully cleaned and disinfected.
The cleaned canals are filled and sealed to reduce the risk of reinfection.
Depending on how much tooth structure remains, the tooth may need a filling, crown or another restoration after the root canal is completed.
Your teeth, gums, bite and missing-tooth area are examined. Imaging may also be needed.
The dentist decides the best implant position and whether any additional preparation is required.
The implant is placed in the jaw under local anaesthesia.
The area is given time to heal before the final restoration is fitted.
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.
Root canal treatment can help:
Keeping a natural tooth can also help maintain normal chewing and avoid creating a new gap that later needs replacement.
Both may be discussed when a tooth is badly damaged or infected.
May allow the natural tooth to remain when enough healthy structure and support are still present.
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.
Tooth pain can have several causes. The dentist first identifies what is happening before recommending root canal treatment.
The clinic also provides fillings, crowns and restorative dentistry, so the final restoration can be planned as part of the same dental care.
When a tooth can be predictably restored, keeping it is considered before moving to replacement options.
You will know what to expect after treatment, whether another restoration is required and when the tooth should be reviewed.
Dr. Dalia Siddig Medical Center is located in Al Majaz 1, Sharjah, with clinic hours from 11:00 AM to 11:00 PM on operating days.
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.
