It also separates nerve endings and acts as the gateway for nutrients required for creating dentin, the hard material which makes up most of the body of each tooth. Over time, this pulp may develop the risk of infection due to any number of reasons including but not limited to injury, a crack in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.royalclinicdubai.com\/en-ae\/general-dentistry\/tooth-removal\/\">tooth<\/a> crown, previous dental procedures, periodontal disease, or bad oral hygiene, and may require dental intervention. You may ask <\/span><b>Why Is Endodontic Treatment Necessary in Dubai, Abu Dhabi &amp; Sharjah? <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">the answer is quite simple, first, the pain from infected pulp is immense and can leave you sleepless and unable to perform the very basic of daily tasks. Secondly, and more importantly, loss or infection of tooth pulp can cause degeneration of the tooth making it brittle and in the worst cases, eventual loss of a tooth.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Need_For_Endodontic_Treatment\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Need For Endodontic Treatment:<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The main purpose of treatment is the removal of infected pulp from the root and replacement of it with dental fillings in order to relieve pain and provide stability to the tooth. Since failure to get treatment can result in spreading the infection to another tooth, tooth decay, and even removal of the tooth, it is necessary to seek treatment as soon as possible to avoid further risks.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_82_2 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-transparent ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 eztoc-toggle-hide-by-default' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.royalclinicdubai.com\/en-ae\/why-is-endodontic-treatment-necessary-in-dubai\/#The_Need_For_Endodontic_Treatment\" >The Need For Endodontic Treatment:<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/www.royalclinicdubai.com\/en-ae\/why-is-endodontic-treatment-necessary-in-dubai\/#Look_For_The_Signs\" >Look For The Signs:<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/www.royalclinicdubai.com\/en-ae\/why-is-endodontic-treatment-necessary-in-dubai\/#Preparing_For_Treatment\" >Preparing For Treatment:<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/www.royalclinicdubai.com\/en-ae\/why-is-endodontic-treatment-necessary-in-dubai\/#How_Does_It_Work_%E2%80%93_Endodontic_Procedure_Explained\" >How Does It Work?
