Get rid of the pain fast
A root canal treatment is necessary when a nerve in the tooth or molar is infected. At de Tandenpraktijk your dentist will perform the treatment and will help you to get rid of the pain fast.
A infection of a nerve inside your tooth or molar can have multiple reasons. Like:
The dentist drills a small hole into the tooth in order to create an opening for the root canal treatment.
With small files the infected nerve ending is removed. Afterwards the canal is flushed clean using a chlorine solution.
In order to make the tooth or molar stronger we inject the cleaned canal with a special filling.
After the canal has been cleaned and filled the tooth or molar is filled so it can be used again.

A root canal treatment is necessary when the nerve in the tooth or molar is infected. These blood and nerve vessels can be found in the root of the tooth or molar. An infection can cause pain with cold, warm and sweet. Also it can be very painful when biting or tapping the tooth or molar. If the infection gets worse, the pain will become constant.
The root canal treatment Is one of the most feared treatments in a dental practice. Still this treatment can be performed painless most of the time. In some cases when the infection is acute the treatment won’t be completely painless. At de Tandenpraktijk your dentist will help you to get rid of the pain as soon as possible.
There is a variation of time when it comes to root canal treatments from about half an hour till two hours. The exact time is determent by how many roots the tooth or molar has and how hard it is to reach them. You may need a second appointment to finish the treatment.
