Dr. Ziauddin Shaik of Royal Green Dental Repairs Rotten Teeth with Root Canals in Dallas, TX

Root canals are probably the most notorious procedure in dentistry and the most common procedure in endodontics. A root canal procedure is performed when the nerve of the tooth becomes infected or the pulp becomes damaged. During a root canal procedure, the nerve and pulp are removed, and the inside of the tooth is cleaned and sealed. In Dallas, TX at Royal Green Dental, Dr. Ziauddin Shaik performs root canals with ease and little discomfort.

Teeth have a soft core called dental pulp. The pulp extends from the crown – the visible part of the tooth – to the tip of the tooth’s root in the jawbone. The pulp contains nerves, blood vessels and connective tissue. When a tooth is cracked or has a deep cavity, bacteria can enter the pulp. Left untreated, bacteria and can cause a serious infection or a tooth abscess, leading to pulp death, bone loss and the loss of a tooth itself. When Dr. Ziauddin Shaik administers the root canal procedure, he numbs the area around the tooth with a local anesthetic. He will then drill down into the tooth to create an opening into the canal. Finally, he will be able to remove infected tissue and clean the canal. After the infection has been removed, the space if filled with a sealant called gutta percha.

Local anesthetics and proper pain medication allow the procedure to be performed with little to no pain in most cases. There may be some soreness following the procedure, but that is normal. Dr. Ziauddin Shaik may prescribe medication to the patient, depending on the severity of the discomfort.
