Root Canal Treatment

Root Canal Treatment

Our teeth not only have their own metabolism and blood circulation; they have their own nerve fibres as well. The blood and nerve network is in the inside of the tooth and various factors (for example deep tooth decay, knocks, breaking of the crown) can cause their inflammation.

Pulpal inflammation causes pain and destroys the living inner tissues. The inside of the tooth - the dental pulp - has to be totally cleaned out and filled in; this process is known as root canal filling.

In spite of all rumours and unpleasant experiences in the past, root canal filling can be done painlessly! Today's technical know-how ensures that the patient should not feel any pain during treatment.
