Treatment of tooth canals in Kyiv

Channels – these are cavities inside the tooth that contain soft pulp tissue. It contains the dental nerve and blood vessels. Each tooth may have one or more canals, depending on its type and morphology. The canals are important for the nutrition of the tooth, as well as for the transmission of pain and temperature sensations. When signs of the disease are detected, the doctor prescribes root canal treatment to remove the affected tissue and prevent further complications.

Treatment of canals often prevents the loss of a damaged tooth and more serious health problems. Pulpitis, inflammation of the inner part of the tooth, requires timely intervention to remove the infection and prevent its spread. If the infection progresses, it can attack the periodontium and cause a condition that affects the supporting tissues of the tooth. 

Causes of canal diseases

Dental canal disease occurs due to a number of factors that cause damage or infection of the internal soft tissue (pulp). The main ones include:

• Deep caries − is the most common cause of canal disease. The infection can penetrate deep into the tooth, reach the canals and cause inflammation.

• Damage to the tooth (cracks, chips) gives bacteria access to the canals.

• A strong blow to the tooth, even if it did not result in visible damage, can cause injury or death of the pulp.

• Large or deep fillings, especially those close to the canals, contribute to the development of infection inside the tooth.

In some cases, the disease can develop without obvious symptoms. Therefore, regular visits to the dentist are key to identifying and treating root canals at an early stage.

The treatment process

Treatment of canals in Kyiv begins with diagnosis and planning. Before starting the procedure, the doctor of our UADenta clinic conducts a detailed examination and takes X-rays to determine the condition of the tooth. Local anesthesia is used for patient comfort during treatment. The doctor removes the affected areas of the tooth, reaching the pulp.

Further, the dentist removes the infected pulp, and thoroughly cleans the tooth canals of bacteria and damage. After disinfection, fills the channels with a special filler to prevent future infections. 

To completely restore the tooth after the procedure, a seal or crown is installed, which allows it to return to its original shape and functionality. Finally, the doctor provides instructions for post-treatment care and makes a plan for follow-up examinations to monitor the healing process.

Prevention of canal diseases

In order to preserve the health of the teeth and prevent inflammation of the canals, it is important to follow effective preventive measures:

• Regular brushing and flossing.

• Use of fluorinated agents to strengthen enamel.

• A balanced diet, limiting the consumption of sweets and sour foods, refusing to chew hard foods with your teeth, such as nuts or seeds.

• Regular visits to the dentist.

Using these measures will reduce the risk of developing root canal disease and keep your teeth healthy.
