Find a dentist in Mumbai to transform your teeth

Like all other branches of medicine, dentistry too has changed over the years. It has greatly developed and both in terms of pain control and the aesthetics of the field. There are many ways to save a tooth even as it is almost gone and also ways of restoring a lost tooth. India is a country that stands at the forefront of world dentistry and almost all the latest advancements can be found here.

When a tooth is decayed very badly the only way to save it is through a root canal treatment. This is a treatment that is also known as endontic treatment as in treats the area ‘endo’ inside the tooth or ‘don’t.’ A root canal problem is identified as such when the living tissue which keeps the tooth alive gets infected. It happens when the decay spreads into the tooth and reaches the pulp and finally reaches the tooth. At this stage the tooth cannot be saved by filling the cavity because the entire system of the tooth has been affected. This problem also occurs when the tooth is damaged from a crack, a fracture or even a chip.

The first thing to remember before undergoing a root canal procedure is that it is a process that eliminates pain rather than cause it. There are many stages for a root canal problem. The first step is numbing the tooth and its surrounding area using a local anaesthesia. Then a dental dam is placed. This is a rubber or vinyl sheet through which the infected tooth protrudes. This isolates the tooth and provides a sterile environment to treat the tooth. Then a hole is drilled into the tooth through the biting surface so that the pulp chamber and the root canals can be taken out. Once this is removed the tooth is no longer painful. Then the canals are disinfected and shaped so they can be filled. Once this is done, the tooth is washed out so that debris is flushed out. Then it is filled usually with a rubber like material called gutta percha combined with dental cement. The crown is placed over the tooth to seal it and protect it. Antibiotics may then be prescribed to prevent infection. The tooth is thus restored to its formal glory and is painless.

Of all the places in India which promotes dental tourism it is perhaps dentists in Mumbai that are the most popular. There are many options in the city for both regular and cosmetic dentistry and many people visit the city for the same. The dentists here are on par with those anywhere else in the world and the costs are more economical especially when compared to the west.
