What is a root canal procedure?

Root canal procedures, or endodontics, is a treatment for the inner pulp of the tooth. They are performed to save teeth from extraction. The dentist or endodontist, a root canal specialist, cleans out the decayed or damaged pulp without breaking the exterior of the tooth root. The cleaned root canal is filled with a bio-compatible rubber-like material called gutta-percha. They are also performed for patients with damaged teeth caused by accidents or fractures. The procedure takes one to two hours to complete.

What are the types of root canal procedures?

Primary root canal treatments are performed using stainless steel files. Stainless steel files could remove only a small amount of infection and could easily break. The more advanced and flexible nickel titanium files do not break easily and are able to clean the entire infected area easily. Rotary instruments used to clean the root canal are quicker than manual instruments. Other advanced root canal procedures make use of ultrasound or laser to effectively clean the root canal.

Is a root canal procedure painful?

Root canal procedures are performed under local anaesthetic. Patients will not feel pain during the procedure.

What is the recovery time after having a root canal procedures?

Patients take about three days to recover after a root canal procedure. Some patients require a week to recover from a root canal procedure.

When can I travel by air after a root canal procedure?

It is safe to travel by air one day after a root canal procedure. Patients should check with their dentist before embarking on their journey. If they feel pain or discomfort, they should postpone their journey until it abates.

What care is required after a root canal procedure?

Patients should take all prescribed medications correctly. They should not eat until the anaesthetic wears off. They should not eat or drink very hot or very cold food for at least a week. They should avoid eating hard food or sticky food. If swelling occurs they should sleep with their head raised for a few days to bring it down.

What are the alternatives to root canal procedures?

Alternatives to root canal procedures include extractions and pulp capping procedures.

The place is modern, equipped with state of the art equipment, impeccably clean and well organisedMarcel, Malta, 05 05 22

Two weeks ago I had just finished my final intervention for dental implants which were professionally carried out by Dr. Jean Paul Demajo. (Yesterday I went for follow up and everything was OK). At Demajo Dental clinic I really do feel like visiting friends because not only everyone is friendly, but also know that I am well being seen to by experts. The place is modern, equipped with state of the art equipment, impeccably clean and well organised. The intervention was literally painless! The only pain I felt was the little prick of the injection. After the effect of the injection wore off I never felt any pain whatsoever which obviously means that surgery was perfectly carried out without any complications. .... and mine was not a small easy job!! It entailed full upper jaw implants + bone augmentation in the upper jaw + implants on half of the lower jaw + bone augmentation in the lower jaw + crowns on the other half of the lower jaw. Not a 5 minute job! During the healing process I sent several emails to Dr. Jean Paul asking him for something and I always got an answer even if late at night. Despite being a very busy person he allocates time to answer all the emails. Now, thanks to Dr Jean Paul, I can taste and enjoy food again and smile confidently. My rating is definitely 10/10. Highly recommended. The intervention is worth every single cent I paid and dont regret my decision to go for it. Thank you Dr. Jean Paul, thank you Demajo Dental clinic. Marcel Avellino, 03/05/2022.

The surgery was very clean and I felt safe and comfortableRita, Malta, 21 04 21

Excellent experience. I was seen reasonably quickly for a check-up. The dentist was very helpful and gave me the information and reassurance I needed in relation to the medication I have been prescribed and its effect on my dental care. The surgery was very clean and I felt safe and comfortable. The charges for a check-up and x-ray was very good value. I would happily recommend the Southgate Dental Practice.

Root canals  
Root canal therapy (RCT) is a technique used when the internal part of the tooth, the pulp, has been irreversibly damaged. The usual cause of this is bacterial invasion of the pulp due to decay or trauma. When this occurs the pulp which is the blood and nerve supply, becomes infected and the long-term health of the tooth is compromised. This often results in a dental abscess which can be very painful and may cause swelling in the mouth and face. At  ProDent Care , we use the most advanced techniques of root canal therapy to treat this often distressing condition.Root canal therapy is basically the systematic cleaning and filling of the pulp space enabling the tooth to be saved and remain useful in the mouth. Once root canal therapy is completed the tooth is restored. Often this is with a tooth coloured composite resin although it may require a crown due to the weakness of the remaining tooth structure.Teeth treated with root canal therapy can remain in the mouth as long as a normal tooth, but they should be regularly inspected as part of the routine dental check-up to ensure that there is no decay as this will often be undetected by the patient.
