The supreme causes for root canal therapy are severe infections, diseases which damage the pulp beyond repair, or severe trauma underwent by the tooth. Cavities which are not timely or treated properly decays the tooth structure (enamel and dentin) and eventually causes pulp damage. Tooth trauma comprises of physical trauma as well as periodic inflammation of the pulp due to some other dental cures. If root canal therapy is not executed, infection is likely to occur and spread. This infection can therefore affect the bone around the tooth and in few cases the tooth may need to be removed.


Symptoms for root canal therapy comprises of substantial pain in the tooth when pressure is applied, prominent sensitivity to heat, extensive sensitivity to cold, swelling around the affected tooth, broken tooth and decolouration of the tooth. In order to check if root canal therapy is needed, the dentist takes x-rays and may reveal the tooth to hot or cold, check the surrounding tissue, and may apply pressure on the tooth. Finally, if the results are still not clear, dentist uses an electric pulp tester to confirm the results.


In 32 pearls dental clinic, the experienced team of doctors makes sure that they have fully examined the patient first, before suggesting him root canal. Also the complete efforts are put to complete the procedure in one sitting if there are no more complications. Although, they may call the patients later to check f or further infections and to remove them. The full procedure comprises of two important steps. First is measuring that may include anaesthetics and perhaps sedation. The experienced dentist at 32 pearls dental clinic removes the top of the pulp by making a hole in order to measure the canal itself. In the second step, the canal is evaluated through X-rays or an electric apex locator.


Next is a very crucial step of the procedure as the specialist is required to take all the caution to remove all the infected pulp tissue from the canal. You don’t have to worry as in 32 pearls, the dentist will take care and do the best and clean procedure. After that, with an antiseptic solution the canals are dried, contracted and sealed. Dentist might wait to seal the tooth; in this case temporary filling is placed between the visits.
