When do I need emergency treatment from an endodontist?

If you are experiencing sudden, severe throbbing or radiating tooth pain that is not subsiding and seems to be worsening, you should probably see an endodontist immediately.
YOUR NATURAL TOOTH IS THE BEST IMPLANT.

How can I avoid future endodontic emergencies?

Avoid eating hard foods like chikki, murrukku, crab, hard fruits like guava etc. that can chip, crack or break your tooth unexpectedly.

What happens after root canal treatment?

Root canal treated teeth have to be immediately crowned to prevent fracture and subsequent extraction.

What about infection control?

Our priority is to provide the state-of-the-art dental care while maintaining strict operating protocol. We use autoclave sterilization and barrier techniques to prevent infection

Everything used in your mouth is either disposable, or it is run through a strict cleaning and autoclave regimen. We use disposables wherever possible. This absolutely prevents any cross-contamination First, they are manually scrubbed. Then they are cleaned in a chemical solution. Finally, they are sterilized in an autoclave. Larger surfaces are sprayed after each patient with a strong disinfectant then & wiped clean.
Those items that are not disposable are subjected to a rigorous sterilization routine in the state of the art technology of sterilisation.

Do I need root canal treatment even if my tooth doesn’t hurt?

Infection within your tooth may not always be accompanied by pain. However pain may be absent when the disease process in your tooth pulp goes into a chronic stage Your endodontist will read the high resolution xray image that is taken in the clinic and explain when and why a root canal may be needed.

The reason for needing a root canal is to remove the infection before it gets worse. Nevertheless, if the infection has reached your pulp or root canals, then root canal therapy must be performed to save the tooth.
