Root Canal

Endodontics (root canal treatment) is a way to repair or save teeth that are too loose, or to control the pain caused by inflammation or nerve damage by removing the nerve inside the tooth and cleaning and filling the vacuum resulting from removing it.

The nerve is a bundle of capillaries and blood vessels located in the heart or middle of each tooth and these are called sensory nerves. The blood vessels associated with the nerve nourish the teeth from the inside. The importance of the treatment of the dental nerve by the dentist is to avoid the consequences of nerve infections that lead to abscesses and further infections that may need surgery.

The withdrawal of the nerve is done by a treatment plan:

The clinic detects the condition of tooth and the amount of caries it contains, and then takes x-rays. The nerve is pulled out and the tooth is cleaned. The root is then stuffed with a substance that prevents the formation of bacteria which is accepted by the body and then the final filling is placed to protect the tooth and give it a longer life.
