A root canal treatment is a necessary procedure to restore the health of a tooth when the inner part of the tooth, the pulp, is inflamed or infected. At IJssel Dental we perform this treatment carefully and accurately, so that your tooth is preserved, functions properly, and you can the pain is relieved..
During a root canal treatment, we remove the infected or inflamed pulp from the inner part of the tooth. After cleaning and disinfecting the root canals, we fill them with a special material and seal the tooth with a filling or crown to provide further protection and to relieve pain.
When is a root canal treatment necessary?
Treatment is often necessary when the dental pulp becomes inflamed due to a deep cavity, repeated dental trauma, or severe gum disease, which is often accompanied by pain. The goal of treatment is to save the tooth, prevent further damage, and relieve pain.
To ensure the best prognosis for a tooth after root canal treatment, it is usually necessary to strengthen and protect the tooth with a crown or laboratory filling. This helps prevent further damage to the tooth and allows it to regain full function without pain.
