Root Canal Treatment
When the inside of the tooth is affected, the goal may be to keep your own tooth.
Root canal treatment may be needed when inflammation or damage to the tissues inside the tooth means the tooth's condition can no longer be managed with a simple restoration. At Dr. Pados Dental Clinic, the treatment is planned based on a personal examination and, if needed, imaging diagnostics, with the aim of supporting the preservation of your own tooth whenever professionally possible.
Keeping your own tooth may be the goal
Root canal treatment is a tooth-preserving procedure in which the damaged or infected tissues inside the tooth are treated, and the root canal system is cleaned and sealed.
“The goal of root canal treatment is not merely to reduce pain, but to support the long-term preservation of the affected own tooth whenever possible.”
What problem can root canal treatment solve?
When the inside of the tooth is damaged or becomes inflamed, it can cause pain, sensitivity, bite discomfort or even swelling.
In suitable cases, root canal treatment can offer the chance to keep the affected tooth rather than removing it.
Our solution
At Dr. Pados Dental Clinic, we first examine the affected tooth and assess its current condition. If needed, imaging can help with an accurate diagnosis.
If the tooth's condition means root canal treatment is the right solution, we carry out the necessary steps based on a personalized treatment plan.
When might root canal treatment be needed?
Root canal treatment may come up when the tissues inside the tooth are affected but keeping the tooth may still be professionally possible.
- With severe or lasting toothache
- In certain cases of cold or heat sensitivity
- With inflammation or damage to the inside of the tooth
- As a result of deep decay
- For a previously damaged tooth
- When the goal is to keep the affected own tooth
The first step is always an accurate diagnosis
Not every dental complaint requires root canal treatment. Based on a personal examination and, if needed, imaging diagnostics, we can decide which treatment is the right solution for the tooth.
What is the root canal treatment process?
Step by step
Assessment and diagnosis
We examine the affected tooth and, if needed, use imaging to clarify its condition.
Opening and treating the tooth
We gain access to the inside of the tooth and begin treating the root canal system.
Treating the root canals
We clean and prepare the root canals, then treat them according to the treatment plan. We combine the most modern and effective root canal treatment methods with traditional, well-proven techniques.
Restoring the tooth
After root canal treatment, the affected tooth needs further restoration for proper function and load-bearing capacity.
