What is root canal treatment and when is it needed?

Root canal treatment, also known as nerve canal treatment or endodontic treatment, is performed for inflammation of the tooth tissue (pulp). This inflammation often results from:

• A deep hole not treated in time
• A leaking filling
• Damage from a fall or accident

This causes the pulp, the soft tissue in the tooth made up of nerves, blood vessels and connective tissue, to become inflamed. This can cause severe pain, but sometimes you may not notice anything until the inflammation is more advanced. Root canal treatment prevents further damage, eliminating the pain and preventing new inflammation.

How does root canal treatment work?

At Schipbeek Street Dental Practice, we perform root canal treatment carefully and efficiently. Treatment can be performed in one or two appointments, depending on your preference and the situation of your teeth.

1. Diagnosis and preparation
   • We first take x-rays to assess the extent of the inflammation.
   • We then numb the treated area so you won’t feel any pain during the procedure.
2. Channel cleaning
   • The dentist removes the inflamed tooth tissue from the root canals.
   • Then the canals are thoroughly cleaned and prepared for filling.
3. Filling of the canal
   • When treated in one appointment, the canals are immediately filled with a permanent filling of special cement.
   • If you choose to have two appointments, we place a temporary filling during the first session. During the second appointment, we replace it with a permanent filling.
4. Closing
   • To protect the tooth, we place a solid post in the filling. This ensures that the canal is completely sealed and functioning properly.
