Diagnosis and Evaluation
The journey toward a successful Root Canal outcome begins with a meticulously structured consultation. Because internal tooth anatomy is unique to each individual, a standard visual check is never sufficient. When you visit a specialist at Liv Hospital, the process starts with a detailed dental history where the clinician asks about your previous trauma, pain patterns, and physical goals. The goal of this evaluation is to provide objective evidence of internal structural failure or bacterial infiltration and to determine if a restorative intervention is the most appropriate next step for your physical vitality.
The first line of preparation for treatment involves seeing beneath the enamel surface to identify the root structure.
Success in Endodontics depends on determining whether the tooth nerve is still functional.
During the diagnostic phase, the specialist will weigh the options of Root Canal vs Filling for your specific case.
Professional observation at our clinic helps patients navigate these technical choices with a clear medical roadmap.
In specific clinical scenarios, we use surgical microscopes to see the entry points of the canals.
The success of a Root Canal is deeply tied to the health of the supporting gums.
The preparation phase includes a comprehensive check for how the tooth interacts with its neighbors.
In specific clinical scenarios, we test for sensitivities to the sealing materials or numbing agents.
The end goal of the diagnostic phase is to reach a definitive management plan. Once all tests are completed—physical exam, mapping, and imaging—your specialist at Liv Hospital will sit down with you to review the findings. If the evidence shows that your condition requires an endodontic correction, we will discuss the options in detail. We encourage you to call the hospital to finalize your journey toward a more radiant and confident self through professional Root Canal care.

During testing, the dentist will test a healthy tooth first. This is the “control tooth.” It establishes a baseline for what “normal” feels like for you. The reaction of the hurting tooth is then compared to this baseline to determine if it is hypersensitive or dead.
We take X rays from different angles to see the roots clearly. Roots can overlap, hiding canals or fractures. Taking multiple angles, or a 3D scan, allows us to build a complete mental map of the tooth’s internal anatomy before we start.
Yes. Decay often starts between teeth or under old fillings where it cannot be seen visually. It can also start in the deep grooves. X rays and laser fluorescence help us find these hidden cavities before they reach the nerve.
The cold test is designed to recreate your symptoms briefly. If the tooth is inflamed, you will feel a sharp cold sensation. The dentist removes the cold immediately. The lingering of the pain tells us how sick the nerve is. It is a quick and vital test.
If the tests are inconclusive, a conservative approach is often taken. We may wait and monitor the tooth for a few weeks to see if symptoms localize. Treating a tooth without a definitive diagnosis can lead to unnecessary procedures and unresolved pain.
