What is a root canal treatment?
In het binnenste van elke tand of kies bevindt zich een zenuw. Wanneer deze zenuw ontstoken raakt — bijvoorbeeld door tandbederf, een lekkende vulling of een harde klap — kan dit leiden tot pijn, zwelling of gevoeligheid. Om verdere schade te voorkomen, is een root canal treatment Den Haag nodig. Hierbij wordt het ontstoken weefsel verwijderd en het kanaal grondig gereinigd.
Symptoms and causes
Nerve inflammation may present as:
- Throbbing or aching pain
- Sensitivity to hot or cold drinks
- Swelling or a puffy cheek
- Een bultje (fistel) op het tandvlees
Painkillers or antibiotics may offer temporary relief, but only a root canal treatment removes the infection completely.
How does the treatment work?
The procedure is done in one or more sessions, depending on the severity and number of canals. Front teeth usually have 1–2 canals; molars may have 2–4. More canals mean a longer and more complex treatment.
- The procedure is painless with local anesthesia
- X-rays are taken to assess the anatomy and infection
- We access the canal through the tooth and clean it with nickel-titanium files
- In a follow-up visit, the canals are filled with gutta percha
- The tooth is rebuilt with composite or a post if needed
- After one year, a control X-ray is taken and a crown or onlay is often recommended
Aftercare and recovery
Na de wortelkanaalbehandeling Den Haag kan er lichte napijn optreden. Dit verdwijnt meestal binnen enkele dagen. We adviseren paracetamol of ibuprofen. Bij toenemende pijn of zwelling, neem direct contact met ons op. In complexe gevallen verwijzen we u door naar een specialist (endodontoloog).
The result: your tooth is saved, pain-free, and functions like a healthy one.
