In root canal treatment, precise work and a confident touch from the dentist are essential — skills that our well-coordinated expert team naturally possesses. If the inside of the tooth becomes inflamed due to deep decay, the affected tissue and bacteria must be thoroughly removed. After cleaning, disinfecting and sealing the tooth tightly, symptoms usually subside quickly. The tooth is preserved and can function normally again after treatment.
Root canal treatment becomes necessary when bacteria penetrate the tooth nerve due to untreated decay or other damage to the tooth. At first, the patient usually feels sensitivity to cold or sweet foods. Over time, the pain increases and can even lead to noticeable swelling of the cheek.
To preserve the tooth and prevent further complications, inflammation or damage to the tooth root must be treated. Under local anesthesia, the root canal system is thoroughly cleaned. Remnants of the decaying dental pulp, metabolic products and harmful bacteria are removed and then treated with medical dressings. The canal is then filled with a filling material and sealed so that bacteria can no longer enter.
We perform the treatment using special magnification optics to view the confined treatment area of the root canal (pulp chamber). This allows for more precise and tooth-preserving treatment, which significantly influences the success of the therapy and the patient’s later well-being.
