Root canal treatment

Symptoms that confirm your need for root canal treatment:

• Swelling of the face or neck.

• Sensitivity to temperatures, whether cold or hot.

• There is a hole in the tooth.

• Tooth pain when biting or chewing.

The need for root treatment

If the infected roots are not treated, the dental pulp becomes more damaged, leading to its decomposition, thus giving bacteria an opportunity to grow and multiply in the pulp’s place.

The presence of bacteria with caries, if not treated, leads to infection or tooth abscess, and “the abscess is a packed mass of ugliness that forms at the end of the tooth root, and the tooth becomes abscessed when the infection reaches the root.” But through root canal treatment, you protect yourself from the risk of infection, decay, and the spread of bacteria, which preserves the health and safety of the tooth.

How to treat roots in Dr. Kamel centers:

• First, the patient undergoes x-rays to determine the shape of the root canal to determine the appropriate treatment. Some cases require local or general anesthesia, and in other cases the patient does not need anesthesia, because in this case the tooth has lost its vitality as a result of nerve damage.

• Opening the affected tooth and removing the decay.

• Removal of the nerve and dental pulp.

• Cleaning the tooth from the inside, then filling the tooth with a special material and closing it tightly, then the crown is placed to maintain its integrity

Root canal treatment is considered more than 95% effective, and only at Dr. Kamel centers guarantee healthy, intact and clean teeth.
