Tooth pain doesn't have to mean losing the tooth. Root canal treatment saves it.
Dr. Maher Daod treats infected and painful teeth with microscope-assisted, step-by-step root canal care under local anaesthesia, at Gulf Pearl Dental & Medical Center in Al Shamkha.

Root canal treatment
Removing the inflamed nerve, then cleaning, disinfecting and sealing the canals to keep your natural tooth instead of extracting it.
Root canal retreatment
For a previously treated tooth where pain or infection has returned. The canals are reopened and cleaned again.
Emergency tooth pain
Relieving acute pain and inflammation in the same visit where possible, then completing treatment.
Cracked & injured teeth
Assessing teeth damaged by accidents or fractures, with nerve treatment when it's needed.
Tooth abscess treatment
Treating infection at the root of the tooth that causes swelling and pain.
Crown after root canal
Coordinated with our in-house prosthodontics team to protect the treated tooth and restore its shape and function.
Root canal treatment under the microscope
Dr. Maher Daod uses the Bondent G4 Pro dental microscope, which magnifies and lights up the treatment area so the finest details of the tooth and its root canals are clearly visible.
Magnified, clearer view
A variable zoom lens and focused light help the doctor see fine, narrow canals.
Keeps more healthy tooth
Fluorescence mode helps show decay margins so more healthy tooth structure can be preserved.
Built-in 4K camera
High-definition photos and video of each treatment step.
See your own tooth
Your doctor can show you before and after images and explain what was done.

Usually completed in one or more visits depending on the tooth, always under local anaesthesia.

Numb & clean
Under the microscope, the inflamed nerve is removed and the canals are cleaned and disinfected.
Seal the canals
The canals are filled and sealed to keep bacteria out.

Common questions
Does a root canal hurt?
Treatment is done under local anaesthesia, and most patients feel pressure rather than pain. Some mild discomfort for a few days afterwards is normal, and your doctor will explain how to manage it.
Why use a microscope for root canal treatment?
Root canals are very narrow, and some are hard to see with the naked eye. Magnification and focused light help the doctor see fine details and work more precisely.
How many visits does it take?
It depends on the tooth, the number of canals and whether there is infection. Some cases are finished in one visit, others need more. Your doctor confirms this after the exam.
Will I need a crown afterwards?
Back teeth often need a crown to protect them from breaking. Your doctor decides based on how much of the tooth remains.
Is extraction better than a root canal?
Keeping your natural tooth is the preferred option when it's possible, because an extracted tooth usually needs replacing later. Your doctor will go through the options for your case.
Does insurance cover root canal treatment?
We work with Daman, ADNIC, NextCare, Almadallah, NAS and Oman Insurance. Cover depends on your policy, and our team can help you check it.
