The role of an Endodontist in Root canal treatments
The root canal treatment is performed by a dental specialist called an Endodontist who specializes in the field of Endodontics for three more years after general dentistry. The root canal procedure involves the removal of the infected pulp tissue followed by disinfecting the canal with sodium hypochlorite. This step is followed by the shaping of the canal walls to fill it with a biocompatible substance that completely seals the canal.

Advantages of saving your natural tooth with the root canal therapy

Advantages of saving your natural tooth with the root canal therapy
Avoids extraction
When the natural tooth can be preserved with endodontic procedures it helps prevent the extraction and replacement with an artificial tooth. Extraction space left for a long time might cause drifting of the adjacent teeth which might need correction with orthodontics.
Avoids dentures & dental implants
Dentures and implants can be expensive and nothing artificial can resemble a natural tooth when it comes to functionality, anatomy & biological mechanisms.
Biting & chewing
When a crown is placed after the root canal procedure it helps the patient bite and chews food since the dental occlusion with the opposite arch is preserved.
Prevents the damage to the surrounding teeth due to excessive forces
Forces are distributed equally on all the teeth and balances the distribution. This helps in providing the right oral & dental environment to restore and improve functionality.
Distributes the occlusal forces
The crown absorbs the occlusal forces and prevents the wear & tear of the adjacent teeth.
Restores Aesthetics & appearance
When anterior teeth are involved, root canal treatments can be followed by shade guides crowns to restore the appearance with respect to cosmetic dentistry.

Pediatric Endodontics

Pediatric Endodontics for kids in Bangalore at Little Pearls Pediatric dentistry
When a root canal treatment is performed on a child its termed as pulpectomy. This is performed by pediatric dentists as the anatomy of a child’s canal varies from that of an adult. The pediatric dentist usually checks for irreversibly infected or damaged pulp tissue before starting the procedure. Your kids dentist will make them feel comfortable in a warm and friendly ambiance as many kids are uncooperative when it comes to the root canal procedure as they are trained for three more years after general dentistry to handle kids. Pediatric dentistry for special kids might be challenging as might require measures such as sedation or GA before conducting the root canal treatment, especially on multiple teeth. Little pearls has experienced pediatric dentists in Bangalore to conduct flawless dental treatments.
