அடிக்கடி கேட்கப்படும் கேள்விகள்
ரூட் கேனால் சிகிச்சை வலிக்குமா?
சிகிச்சைக்கு முன் பல்லை மரத்துப்போகச் செய்யும் ஊசி போடப்படுவதால், பெரும்பாலானோருக்கு சிகிச்சையின் போது வலி தெரியாது. சிகிச்சைக்குப் பிறகு ஓரிரு நாட்கள் லேசான வலி இருக்கலாம்; அது பொதுவாக தானாகவே சரியாகிவிடும்.
ரூட் கேனால் சிகிச்சைக்கு எத்தனை முறை வர வேண்டும்?
இது பல்லின் நிலையைப் பொறுத்து மாறும். பல நேரங்களில் ஒன்று அல்லது இரண்டு முறை வந்தால் போதும்; தொற்று அதிகமாக இருந்தால் கூடுதல் வருகைகள் தேவைப்படலாம். பரிசோதனை மற்றும் எக்ஸ்-ரே பார்த்த பிறகு டாக்டர் தெளிவாகச் சொல்வார்.
வேறு இடத்தில் செய்த ரூட் கேனால் தோல்வியடைந்தால் மீண்டும் செய்ய முடியுமா?
பெரும்பாலும் முடியும். MDS எண்டோடான்டிஸ்ட் டாக்டர் எஸ். பரத் குமார், டென்டல் மைக்ரோஸ்கோப் உதவியுடன் தோல்வியடைந்த ரூட் கேனால் பற்களுக்கு மறு சிகிச்சை செய்கிறார். பரிசோதனைக்குப் பிறகு உங்கள் பல்லைக் காப்பாற்ற முடியுமா என்று சொல்வார்.
கிளினிக் நேரம் என்ன?
திங்கள் முதல் சனி வரை: காலை 9:30 – மதியம் 1:30, மாலை 4:30 – இரவு 8:30. ஞாயிற்றுக்கிழமை விடுமுறை; அவசர சிகிச்சை தேவைப்பட்டால் போன் செய்தால் சந்திப்பு ஏற்பாடு செய்யப்படும்.
கிளினிக் எங்கே உள்ளது?
U 74, புதிய எண் 58, 5வது மெயின் ரோடு, அண்ணா நகர் டவர் பார்க் அருகில், அண்ணா நகர், சென்னை 600040. முன்பதிவுக்கு +91 98840 15026 என்ற எண்ணில் அழைக்கவும் அல்லது WhatsApp செய்யவும்.
