If you are considering a root canal treatment, you have arrived at the right page! A root canal treatment is often associated with unbearable pain, a great amount of discomfort,and anxiety. However, with advancements in modern dentistry, root canal treatment has become more reliable and painless than ever before. Moreover,it is essential to understand that a root canal treatment does not cause pain, it is the infection or the tooth injury that leads to pain. In fact, a root canal treatment ensures that the infection is taken care of and the pain is eliminated at the earliest.
At GLOJAS Dental, we offer the most advanced Root Canal Treatment in Malaysia. We ensure that the procedure is completely painless and our patients are at ease at the time of the procedure. A root canal treatment is largely performed when the blood supply or the nerve that connects the tooth is damaged or infected.
When does one require a root canal treatment? Before we dive into that, it is essential to understand the structure of the tooth which will provide a clear understanding of the root canal system. The tooth consists of a pulp chamber in which the pulp and the root canal of the tooth are present. The root canal is connected to nerves, tissues, and blood vessels and when these elements of the tooth are infected or damaged, it leads to pain.
Tooth infection is a result of an array of factors including tooth decay, accidents, traumatic damage, repeated dental procedures. If you do not opt for a root canal treatment at the right time, the pulp of the tooth may die and lead to other complex gum diseases and more. Individuals who are experiencing a significant amount of pain and have swollen gums should visit a dentist and are most likely the ideal candidates for the root canal treatment.
At GLOJAS Dental, a root canal treatment is performed by an experienced dentist. We perform a thorough diagnosis to assess the cause of pain. Prior to the treatment, patients are given local anesthesia to numb the area around the tooth which is being treated. A dental dam or a sheet of rubber is placed on top of the affected tooth to ensure that the tooth that is being treated is segregated from the rest.
A small hole is created using a dental machine so that the dentist can access the pulp chamber for the treatment. The pulp that is infected is efficiently removed using advanced dental equipment. Once this step is complete, patients will not experience any pain. After the root canal is disinfected, it is shaped so that the root canal filling can be placed in it. Once these stages are complete, the tooth is shaped and a crown is placed over the tooth. If you are experiencing pain or discomfort in your mouth, schedule an appointment with GLOJAS Dental Clinic.
