Root canal treatment

Endodontic treatment, commonly known as “cleaning and removing nerves from the tooth,” consists of mechanical preparation of the root canals, where the tooth’s nerves are located (usually already dead or infected). This is followed by thorough chemical disinfection. The entire root system is then hermetically filled and sealed.

When is treatment needed?

Root canal treatment is performed in the following cases:

• Severe tooth pain, especially when biting or touching
• Long-term sensitivity to heat or cold
• Gum swelling or abscess
• Deep decay or tooth injury

If you experience any of these symptoms, do not delay your visit.

How does the procedure work?

1. Examination and X-ray – to determine the extent of tooth damage.
2. Local anesthesia – to ensure the procedure is completely painless.
3. Removal of pulp – mechanical and chemical cleaning of the canals.
4. Filling the canals – with a special bioinert material.
5. Restoration of the tooth – often with a crown for long-term stability.
