A root canal is a treatment used to heal a tooth that is badly decayed or infected.
The inflammation and pain are caused when the bacteria present in our mouth manage to penetrate through cavities or a crack into the root canals of the tooth. It is necessary to identify and fully remove the bacterial infection from the root canals in order to prevent reoccurrence and further damage. Reoccurence may result in the loss of your tooth. Due to the complex anatomy
of root canals, root canal treament requires a high level of craftsmanship in identifying and thoroughly removing the bacterial infection.

If your general dentist referred you to an Endodontist specialist, it is because your dentist believes your case requires the expertise of a specialized Endodontist and wants you to receive the best possible treatment with the best possible outcome.

This treatment can save your natural tooth and prevent the need for it to be extracted and replaced by a bridge or an implant.
As the bacterial infection progresses, the nerves become more inflamed, manifested by high sensitivity to cold and warm drinks and resulting in severe pain. The pain caused by the inflamed nerves of the tooth is known to be one of the most severe pains one can have. If you are experiencing a lot of pain, this is not something you should try to cope with. Further more, if the pain temporarily disappears it is probably a sign that the infection has spreaded into the jaw. The sooner you treat it the better.

The success rate of endodontic treatment procedures in our clinic is approximately 90%.  Further more, in the rare cases where a root canal treatment should be repeated within a period of one year, our clinic will fully cover the retreament costs.
