What is Root Canal Treatment?

Root canal treatment is used when the inner tissue of the tooth is affected by deep decay, trauma, infection, or advanced sensitivity. The aim is to clean and seal the canals so the tooth can remain in the mouth with function restored. At Archident, each case is assessed carefully so the tooth can be preserved whenever appropriate.

Who may be evaluated for this treatment?

  • Teeth with deep decay reaching the nerve tissue
  • Teeth with infection-related pain or swelling
  • Traumatized teeth that can still be preserved
  • Cases where saving the tooth is clinically possible

How is the treatment process planned?

After clinical and radiographic evaluation, the treatment area is isolated and the canals are cleaned, shaped, and sealed. In some cases, more than one session may be required depending on the level of infection and the condition of the tooth.

What should be considered afterward?

A treated tooth may still require a filling, onlay, or crown for long-term strength. Follow-up visits and good oral hygiene support the prognosis of the tooth.

Root Canal Treatment FAQ

Frequently asked questions about root canal treatment

When is root canal treatment necessary?

It is generally considered when the nerve tissue is affected by deep decay, infection, trauma, or persistent pain and the tooth can still be saved.

Does a root canal hurt?

Treatment is performed under local anesthesia, so pain during the procedure is not expected. Post-treatment sensitivity is usually temporary.

Will the tooth need a crown afterward?

Depending on the amount of structural loss and bite forces, a crown or other reinforcement may be recommended after root canal treatment.

Does a painful root canal treated tooth always need to be extracted?

No. Pain in a previously root canal treated tooth should first be evaluated for infection, cracks, bite overload, root-end problems, or inadequate previous filling. Suitable teeth may be preserved with retreatment or additional restorative care.

What is endodontic retreatment?

Endodontic retreatment is the reopening of a previously treated tooth, followed by renewed cleaning, disinfection, and filling of the canals. It may be planned when pain, infection, or a root-end lesion remains.
