Undergoing root canal treatment in Amsterdam

Root canal treatment is also called nerve canal treatment or endo. When you need root canal treatment in Amsterdam, the trigger is often toothache. This severe toothache can be caused, for example, by an inflamed pulp in the tooth or molar. A pulp is a combination of connective tissues, small blood vessels and nerve fibers. If it becomes inflamed due to a cavity, a fall or a leaking filling, for example, the dental nerve can become inflamed. This hurts in many cases, but there are also cases of people who experienced no pain. Root canal treatment prevents new inflammation from developing in that area.

How does root canal treatment work?

To ensure that you no longer experience symptoms and the inflammation disappears, the inflamed nerve is removed. Because root canal treatment can be perceived as unpleasant, we perform the treatment with you in two treatments. During the first appointment, we take X-rays, then the dentist removes the inflamed tissue and the root canals are cleaned. Once the root canals are cleaned, we prepare the root canals for filling. If you choose to have the treatment done in one appointment, we fill the canals with permanent filling.

Do you choose to split the treatment? In that case, we put a temporary filling during the first appointment. Then we replace the temporary filling for the permanent filling during the second appointment. The filling is made of cement. The last step is to place a post in the cement, this post presses against the canal wall. In this way, the root canal is properly closed.
