Tooth-preserving treatment Personalized care

    Root Canal Treatment

    The treatment of an inflamed or infected tooth aims to eliminate the cause of the symptoms and, whenever possible, preserve the natural tooth.

    The goal is to preserve your natural tooth

    During root canal treatment, by removing the inflamed or infected tissues from inside the tooth and treating the root canals, we aim to preserve the natural tooth.

    "The goal of root canal treatment is not only to reduce symptoms, but whenever possible to preserve the natural tooth long-term and restore it appropriately."

    What problems can root canal treatment solve?

    Severe, throbbing toothache, persistent sensitivity to hot or cold, pain on biting, or swelling around the tooth may indicate that the tissues inside the tooth are inflamed or infected. In such a case, root canal treatment may become necessary to eliminate the source of the infection and, whenever possible, preserve the natural tooth.

    Tooth-preserving treatment based on a personalized plan

    At Györe Dent, root canal treatment is always preceded by an examination and, when needed, imaging diagnostics. During the treatment we access the inside of the tooth, remove the inflamed or infected tissues, clean the root canals, and seal them appropriately. After the treatment, the method of the tooth's final restoration is also tailored to the given tooth's condition.

    When might root canal treatment be needed?

    Root canal treatment may become necessary when the dental pulp inside the tooth can no longer recover due to inflammation or infection.

    • In case of severe or persistent toothache
    • Prolonged sensitivity to hot or cold
    • In case of deep tooth decay
    • Inflammation or infection affecting the tooth interior
    • After trauma or significant tooth structure loss when indicated

    The first step is always an accurate diagnosis

    Without a precise assessment of the cause of the symptoms and the tooth's condition, it cannot be determined whether root canal treatment is truly necessary. The personal examination may be complemented by imaging diagnostics when needed.

    Frequently asked questions about root canal treatment

    The most important things to know before and after root canal treatment.

    Is root canal treatment painful?
    Root canal treatment is performed under local anesthesia when needed. After the treatment, temporary sensitivity or biting discomfort may occur, the extent of which depends on the tooth's starting condition and the degree of inflammation.
    When is root canal treatment necessary?
    Root canal treatment may become necessary when the dental pulp inside the tooth has irreversibly become inflamed or infected. The cause may be deep decay, a previous injury or another dental problem. An accurate diagnosis can be established on the basis of a personal examination.
    How many appointments does root canal treatment take?
    The number of appointments needed depends on the tooth's anatomy, the extent of the infection or inflammation and what is observed during treatment. In some cases a shorter, in others a multi-appointment treatment is needed.
    What happens to the tooth after root canal treatment?
    The final restoration of the root-canal-treated tooth is an important part of the treatment. Depending on the tooth's condition and the amount of remaining tooth structure, a filling, an inlay/onlay, a crown or another restoration may be needed.
    Can every tooth be saved with root canal treatment?
    Not every tooth can be saved with root canal treatment. The possibility is influenced by the extent of the damage, the condition of the roots and surrounding tissues, and whether the tooth can be adequately restored later. This can be decided on the basis of an examination.
    Might an X-ray be needed before root canal treatment?
    Yes, when indicated an imaging examination can help assess the roots, the surrounding bone and any inflammation, as well as plan the treatment.
