Root Canal Treatment-To Save Your Teeth


Earlier, a badly infected tooth, or one that just had significant decay, was doomed to be extracted. Today, the majority of these teeth can be salvaged by the Root Canal Specialist or the Endodontist.

When a tooth’s nerve tissue or pulp is damaged, it breaks down and bacteria begin to multiply within the pulp chamber. The bacteria and other decayed debris can cause an infection or abscessed Tooth. Severe pain, swelling, sensitivity to hot or cold, or a darkening tooth, are signs that a root canal problem exists.

Root Canal Treatment procedure is started by drilling the enamel part of the tooth, that is topmost portion of the tooth. First the Dentist enters the pulp chamber, where the infected pulp is present. The next step is exploration of root canal, removal of the remaining pulp tissue and infected tissue. The infected pulp is then drilled out and the root canal is disinfected with the help of intracanal medicament like essential oils (eugenol), phenolic compounds, Sodium Hypochlorite and iodides. Finally filling of root canal is done with an inert filling material called gutta percha.

Benefits of endodontic treatment?
Endodontic treatment saves teeth that would otherwise need to be extracted. Saving your natural teeth, if possible, is the best option. Occasionally a tooth cannot be saved. Endodontic treatment can be performed only if the root canals are accessible and can be adequately cleaned and sealed. The tooth must also have sufficient bone support.

Thangam's Dental Clinic, Chennai is one of the best dental clinic in India offering best root canal procedures at affordable prices.

Dental Crown To Save Your Teeth



What is a Dental Crown?
Dental crown or dental cap is a dental restoration that completely covers the visible portion of your damaged tooth to protect what remains of the tooth structure, providing you with a strong, long-lasting layer of protection against tooth fracture. Crowns are caps that are placed over teeth to both improve their appearance and their functionality. A dental cap is cemented onto the tooth for restoring the original natural-looking appearance of the teeth.


When is a dental crown needed?
Dental crowns may be the best option in various situations: a filling breaks, a tooth chips, a cavity is too large, or a tooth is misshaped.


Dental Crowns: Types & materials
Three main types of dental crowns exist, depending on the type of material:
1) porcelain crowns, 2) porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns, and 3) gold crowns.

A porcelain crown is made completely of porcelain, which is an extremely natural looking and aesthetic material. Porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns are made with a metal inside and porcelain outside; the metal inside provides proper strength and the porcelain outside provides a beautiful appearance. Gold crowns are obviously made of gold but are rarely used anymore due to their poor aesthetics.



The dentist will shape the tooth so that, with the artificial crown, it will be the same size as a normal tooth. Your dentist will use a soft mountable material to make an exact ‘impressions’ of the tooth that is to be crowned and the nearby teeth. A dental technician uses the impressions to make the crown the exact height and size needed.
A temporary crown made of plastic is put over the tooth until the permanent crown is made. You can chew on a temporary crown but it won’t be as strong as the finished one. When the crown is fitted, your dentist will make small adjustments to make sure you can bite comfortably. The crown is tried on first, and then glued into place.

Dental Crown: Care & flossing
A dental crown should not be treated any differently than other natural tooth. You should continue proper oral hygiene with routine brushing and flossing.


Thangam's dental clinic, Chennai offers best dental crowns procedures at affordable prices.
