Endodontics / Root canal treatment

Endodontic diagnosis: We are your experts for professional root canal treatment

Endodontics – the study of the inside of the tooth – is also called “root canal treatment” in dentistry. Therefore, the term endodontics refers to the treatment of the inside of the tooth. If a tooth is damaged to the inside, for example, root canal treatment often serves to save the tooth.

With a local anaesthetic, root canal treatment is often only slightly painful, if at all. If you turn to experienced specialists in endodontics like us, root canal treatment is a proven and often successful method of saving a tooth.

Details of the root canal treatment procedure

Before treatment, we give our patients a thorough examination. We perform a pain localisation and check your teeth for sensitivity to cold, heat and pressure. Another important prerequisite for a reliable diagnosis is the taking of an X-ray of the teeth and jaw bones. The X-ray image obtained in this way provides information about the exact location and extent of the inflammation.

Prior to endodontic treatment, we also recommend an electronic length check. With the help of hand instruments and mechanical devices such as VDW Mtwo files or a Sonicflex endo tip, the electrical root canal measurement makes an important contribution to ensuring the preservation of your tooth.

Best possible treatments after the diagnosis of endodontics

Our methods for root canal treatment meet the highest standards. That is why we also offer you treatment with the rubber dam, which effectively protects against contamination by saliva and thus also against bacterial infestation. In the next steps, we professionally remove inflamed pulp, remove any bacteria present and seal the root canal system. During the endodontic treatment you will feel almost no pain.

Advantages of root canal treatment at a glance

Thanks to precise technical equipment and fine instruments, the treatment of the inside of the tooth during an endodontic treatment often has a successful prognosis. It is often possible to save an affected tooth through root canal treatment. In cases of severe pain or a momentous diagnosis for teeth, endodontics is an attempt to keep natural teeth into old age. Worries about painful treatment are now often unjustified, as root canal treatment is mostly painless thanks to local anaesthesia. In cases of severe inflammation, the local anaesthetic is less effective and a supportive course of antibiotics may be necessary.
