Root canal (or endodontic) treatment is indicated when the inner pulp of the tooth — the part containing nerves and vessels — is inflamed or infected, often due to deep decay, trauma or a fracture. This is what causes the classic intense toothache or prolonged sensitivity to heat and cold.
The goal is to eliminate the infection, disinfect the canals and seal them, so the tooth is preserved and restored to function, avoiding the need for extraction.
The treatment is carried out under local anaesthetic: you won't feel pain during the session.
The infected pulp is removed and the root canals are cleaned and shaped.
The canals are disinfected and filled to prevent new infections.
The tooth is rebuilt and, when indicated, protected with a crown for greater strength.
It's carried out under local anaesthetic and is generally painless. In fact, it relieves the pain caused by inflammation or infection of the tooth.
Depending on the situation, one or two sessions may be enough. The number is determined after assessing the tooth.
A treated tooth is often protected with a crown or a suitable restoration to ensure its strength over time.
