Root Canals Dubai at Talass Medical and Dental Center is common routine procedure that dentist's do at least once a day. Although we brush, floss, and clean our teeth more than three times a day, cavities hidden in the back can damage the roots of the molars. The infection will begin with excruciating pain experienced, coupled with swelling, and extreme sensitivity in the area.
Root canal is a dental procedure that helps to ease the pain, by removing the infected root pulp. The pulp is protected by the harder outer surface the enamel, and the less strong dentine, but both these hard calcium infused layers can be broken into by the acid produced. It is no secret that acid can damage anything, from stone walls, to granite statues, entire buildings can look unappealing from receiving acid rain.
In the case of our teeth, acid is not only present in the food and drinks we consume, but also naturally occurs as a result of the bacteria, present in our mouths feeding on food particles. The acid breaks down the enamel until it finally reaches the root, causing immense pain and discomfort. This is usually when patients come running in, for a dental emergency.
Generally, the pain starts very abruptly' you may have no pain at all one minute, escalating very quickly to unbearable pain the next.
Should you require emergency dental treatment, the first thing you'd need to do is to take an over-the-counter pain medication which will help you until you get to our dental clinic. Your general dentist Dubai, will examine the area, and first treat the infection. This is done by prescribing antibiotics and possibly an antiseptic mouthwash or toothpaste to kill off the bacteria. Generally, in the case of an infected root canal, the gums in the area will swell up as well, and cleaning a root at this point is not advised. Once the infection has subsided, your dentist will clean out the infected soft tissue after administering a local anaesthetic; this is done during the second visit. The root space is filled with permanent resin and you'll be back to normal.
A third visit might be necessary depending on the tooth and its strength. It might be advised to have a crown placed over the damaged tooth, to prevent it from breaking as it is likely more brittle now that is has the roots removed. The root of a tooth, provides it with nourishment, and keeps replacing lost minerals. Removing a root, means removing the tooth's ability to repair itself over the years.

If you have been putting off that visit to the dentist and are dealing with the problem by taking pain medication, it will only make matters worse, by allowing the infection to spread to other parts of your mouth.
