The cause of inflammation of the dental nerve is usually deep caries, dental trauma or leakage from older fillings. During root canal treatment, the inflamed tissue is carefully removed, the root canals are cleaned, disinfected and sealed with biocompatible material. This stops the inflammation and stabilises the tooth in the long term.
Thanks to modern tools such as mechanical preparation, electrometric length measurement and digital X-rays, treatment can be carried out with particular precision. Our goal is to preserve the natural tooth substance – without compromising on quality. In many cases, this means that a tooth that was thought to be ‘lost’ can be saved.
Preserving your own tooth is always the best solution – functionally, aesthetically and economically. Root canal treatment is an established method in dentistry that enables us to treat even severely damaged teeth and preserve them in the long term. At our practice in Heidelberg, we will advise you in detail about your individual options.
If the tooth nerve is inflamed or dead – often noticeable through severe toothache or swelling – only root canal treatment can save the tooth.
The treatment is performed under local anaesthetic and is usually painless. Symptoms can also be easily controlled after the treatment.
A successfully treated tooth can last for many years, sometimes even a lifetime, with good care.
The costs vary depending on the tooth, the number of root canals and the amount of work involved. We will be happy to provide you with transparent information at our practice in Heidelberg.
The only real alternative is usually to remove the tooth – we try to avoid this as far as possible by performing root canal treatment.
