Root canal treatment in Muscat
A root canal treatment saves a tooth whose nerve is infected or dying. We clean out the inside of the tooth and seal it, so you keep your own tooth instead of having it pulled.
When you might need one
Deep decay, a crack or an old filling can let germs reach the nerve inside a tooth. Signs include a toothache that keeps coming back, pain when you bite, a tooth that stays sensitive to hot or cold, or swelling in the gum nearby.
Sometimes an infected tooth doesn’t hurt at all. A check-up shows whether the nerve is affected.
What happens at the clinic
The tooth is numbed first. The dentist then opens the top of the tooth, cleans out the infected nerve and shapes the canals inside the roots. The canals are filled and sealed so germs can’t get back in.
A tooth that has had a root canal is often weaker than before, so the dentist may advise a crown to protect it.
After the treatment
The tooth can feel tender for a few days. Avoid chewing hard food on that side until the tooth is fully restored, and keep brushing and flossing as usual.
