Root Canal Therapy in Muscat

• Pain Relief: Root canal therapy effectively relieves pain caused by pulp infection or inflammation.
• Tooth Preservation: The procedure allows for saving a tooth that might otherwise need to be extracted.
• Prevents Spread of Infection: Treating the infection can prevent it from spreading to other teeth or into the jawbone.
• Restores Normal Function: After recovery, the tooth can function like any other tooth, with normal biting force and sensation.

• Diagnosis: A thorough examination and X-rays determine if root canal therapy is needed.
• Anesthesia: The area around the tooth is numbed to ensure comfort during the procedure.
• Pulp Removal: The infected or inflamed pulp is removed through a small opening in the crown of the tooth.
• Cleaning and Shaping: The root canal is cleaned, disinfected, and shaped to prepare it for filling.
• Filling the Canal: The cleaned canal is filled with a biocompatible material and sealed with adhesive cement.
• Restoration: A crown or filling is often placed to restore the tooth’s shape and functionality.

With modern anesthetics and techniques, root canal therapy is typically no more uncomfortable than having a filling placed.

It usually takes one to two visits to complete, depending on the condition of your tooth and personal circumstances. Each session may last from 30 minutes to a few hours.

Some tenderness is normal after the procedure, but this is usually manageable with over-the-counter pain relievers and resolves within a few days.
