Why do we have endodontic treatment?
Endodontic treatment is done when the nerve of a tooth is infected with germs and has become inflamed or dead. The goal of endodontic treatment is to maintain the tooth in the mouth and to avoid extraction.
What are the symptoms of a tooth that needs endodontic treatment?
The symptoms vary. These can be mild to severe pain in cold or hot, pain in chewing or even automatically without pressing our teeth. Sometimes there may be no symptoms at all!
How is the denervation (endodontic treatment) made?
Denervation is done by interfering inside the tooth in order to remove all germs but also the infected pulp! At a later time and after the painful symptoms have subsided, we will seal the roots of the tooth with special materials to avoid any future problems.
Does denervation hurt?
Denervation treatment is painless and always under local anesthesia. Sometimes and depending on the tooth problem, there may be mild or severe irritation and the tooth may be more or less sensitive to chewing or touching. However, this condition is transient and usually goes away with a painkiller.
Can the tooth decay break?
A tooth with endodontic treatment has usually lost much of its dental material due to the tooth decay. So we would say that it is structurally weak and can easily break during chewing. For this reason we need to place a rim to keep it intact in the bar.
