Saving the natural tooth
What are endodontics and root canal treatment?
Endodontics is the branch of dentistry that focuses on treating the inside of the tooth, when the nerve or tissues inside the root canal are affected by deep cavities, inflammation or infection.
Root canal treatment is designed to remove the infection, clean and seal the tooth canals, so the natural tooth can be preserved and continue to function.

Helps save teeth affected by deep cavities, dental pain or infection.
02
Removes the affected tissue from inside the tooth and reduces the risk of the infection spreading.

When do you need root canal treatment?
Root canal treatment may be needed when the dental pulp, the tissue inside the tooth, is affected by deep cavities, trauma, inflammation or infection.
Sometimes the pain is strong and constant, while in other cases the problem develops slowly, without obvious symptoms. This is why a dental evaluation is essential for choosing the right treatment.
Sensitivity to hot or cold
Intense or long-lasting sensitivity may be a sign that the dental pulp is affected.
Deep cavity
An untreated cavity can reach close to the nerve and may require endodontic treatment.
Dental infection or abscess
Swelling, pressure or pain when biting may indicate an infection that should be treated promptly.
Treatment steps
How does root canal treatment work?
Endodontic treatment is carried out in precise stages, with the aim of removing the infection, cleaning the tooth canals and preserving the natural tooth for as long as possible.
Consultation and diagnosis
The dentist evaluates the pain, the condition of the tooth and the level of damage to decide whether root canal treatment is the right solution.
Local anaesthesia
The area is numbed so the procedure is as comfortable as possible and the treatment can be carried out safely.
Cleaning the canals
The affected tissue is removed, and the tooth canals are carefully cleaned and disinfected.
Sealing the canals
The canals are filled and sealed to help prevent reinfection and protect the tooth in the long term.
Important to know
The goal is to save the natural tooth
Root canal treatment does not mean removing the tooth. It means cleaning the inside of the tooth to eliminate infection and preserve its function.
- The treatment is carried out under local anaesthesia.
- The duration may vary depending on the complexity of the case.
- In some situations, more than one appointment may be needed.
- After treatment, the tooth may need reconstruction or a dental crown.

What happens after root canal treatment?
After the endodontic treatment is completed, the tooth is cleaned, disinfected and sealed. Depending on how much of the tooth structure has been affected, the dentist may recommend a coronal reconstruction or a dental crown for long-term protection.
The goal is for the treated tooth to remain functional, stable and protected during chewing. This is why root canal treatment is only one part of the complete plan for saving the tooth.
Pain and sensitivity control
Mild sensitivity may appear after treatment, especially when biting, but this usually decreases gradually.
Tooth reconstruction
If the tooth has lost a significant amount of structure, it may need to be rebuilt to restore its shape and function.
Dental crown, if needed
For weakened teeth, a dental crown can help protect the tooth and reduce the risk of fracture.
Regular monitoring
The dentist may recommend routine check-ups to monitor healing and the stability of the treated tooth.

Frequently asked questions
Frequently asked questions about endodontics and root canal treatment
If you have dental pain, sensitivity or you have been advised to have root canal treatment, it is normal to have questions. Below you can find clear answers to the most common concerns.
01 Does root canal treatment hurt?
Root canal treatment is carried out under local anaesthesia, so the procedure is as comfortable as possible. In cases with advanced infection or inflammation, there may be slight discomfort, but the dentist adapts the treatment for the patient’s safety.
02 How long does root canal treatment take?
The duration depends on the complexity of the case, the number of canals and the condition of the tooth. Some treatments can be completed in a single appointment, while more complex cases may require several visits.
03 Why is root canal treatment needed?
Root canal treatment is needed when the tooth nerve is affected by deep cavities, trauma, inflammation or infection. The aim is to remove the infection and save the natural tooth.
04 Can the tooth be saved with root canal treatment?
In many cases, yes. If the tooth can be restored correctly after endodontic treatment, root canal treatment can help preserve the natural tooth and avoid extraction.
05 What happens after root canal treatment?
After treatment, the tooth is sealed and may need reconstruction or a dental crown, depending on how much tooth structure has been affected. The dentist will recommend the right solution for long-term protection.
06 Can I delay root canal treatment if the pain goes away?
It is not recommended to delay the consultation. Sometimes the pain may temporarily decrease, but the infection can continue to progress. An early evaluation can help prevent complications and improve the chances of saving the tooth.
The exact recommendation is established only after a consultation, clinical examination and, if needed, imaging investigations. Every endodontic case is different.
