Root Canal Treatment in Dubai is considered to be the most feared dental procedure by many patients.

Survey results show that many people in Dubai with a fear of the dentist, base their fears on someone else’s experiences and what they have heard rather than their own experiences. Therefore, this inaccurate description and unnecessary fear of root canals often prevent patients from visiting the Dentist in Abu Dhabi and having the care they need. There are instances, where patients have gone as far as requesting that a tooth is extracted, rather than opting for a root canal to save the tooth.

Before patient consider taking any decisions, here are a few of the common root canal myths that are addressed

Myth: Root Canal is painful

Root canal treatment is performed because a tooth is causing pain from an irreversible condition. Some of the reasons that a root canal is performed is because the patient has pulpits, an infected pulp, broken teeth, or a slowly dying nerve.
Root canal therapy is used to alleviate pain. Most people who have root canal treatment admit they did not experience any pain during the appointment and felt better afterward. Root canal therapy is performed to ease the pain and the reason that it labelled a painful treatment is because of the early treatment methods. Also, if the patient is suffering from pain on the day the procedure is scheduled, the apprehension and fear may heighten the sensations during the procedure. Today, with the developments in the latest dental technology, root canal treatment is no more uncomfortable than having a regular tooth filling.

Myth: A root canal may need several visits until the procedure is completed

Normally, a root canal treatment can be completed in one to two appointments. However, there are a number of factors that determine the number of appointment that is required to treat a root canal such as the extent of the infection and the difficulty of the root canal. The tooth needs to be restored after root canal therapy to ensure the tooth functions properly. These other appointments necessary to completely restore the tooth are not a part of the root canal process.

Myth: Root canal therapy makes you ill

Eventhough, many studies reveal that that root canal therapy can lead to other illnesses and health conditions such as heart disease, kidney disease, or arthritis, there is not confirmed or precise explanation or comprehensive research report that can confirm this.

Myth:  Only teeth that hurt can have a root canal treatment

Teeth that need root canal treatment are not always painful. Most often, it is teeth that were already dead that need treatment to prevent the tooth from becoming infected.
The Dental Surgeon in Dubai will examine the tooth that requires treatment thoroughly during the checkups. Sometimes, the dentist may even discover that a tooth has been already dead or in the process of dying during a routine dental check. A dead tooth can be confirmed by temperature testing, percussion testing and using a pulp vitality machine.
There are many patients who endodontically treat teeth to help them live a long and healthy life while enjoying their daily routines and activities.

迪拜的根管治疗被很多病人认为是最令人恐惧的牙科程序。

调查结果显示害怕牙医的很多迪拜人的恐惧基于其他人的经历和他们所听到的，而非自己的经历。因此，此不准确的描述和对根管治疗不必要的恐惧经常阻止病人访问阿布扎比的牙医进行需要的护理。有时病人甚至请求拔牙而非寻求根管治疗挽救牙齿。

病人考虑采取任何决定之前，这里是需要考虑的一些普遍的根管治疗偏见

偏见：根管治疗很痛苦

因为牙齿从不可逆的情况导致疼痛进行根管治疗。进行根管治疗的一些原因是病人有牙髓炎、牙髓感染、牙齿破裂或缓慢死亡的神经。
根管治疗被用来减轻疼痛。大多数接受根管治疗的人承认他们在预约期间没有经历任何痛苦，之后感觉更好。进行根管治疗以减轻痛苦，它被打上痛苦治疗的标签的原因是早期治疗方法。另外，如果病人在计划的程序那天疼痛，在程序期间恐惧可能会增强感觉。今天，随着最新牙科技术的发展，根管治疗并不比常规补牙更令人不适。

偏见：根管治疗可能需要几次访问直到程序完成

通常，根管治疗可以通过一到两次预约完成。但是，有很多因素决定治疗根管所需要的预约次数，如感染程度和根管难度。根管治疗之后需要恢复牙齿以确保牙齿功能适当。这些完全恢复牙齿所需的其它预约不是根管治疗过程的部分。
