Root canal

Root canal treatment is also called endodontics. Root canal treatment is a highly skilled and time-consuming procedure.

If the blood or nerve supply of the tooth is infected through decay or injury then you’ll need root canal treatment. When the soft tissue inside the tooth becomes infected this can spread and lead to a dental abscess. The aim of the treatment is to remove all infection. The root is then cleaned and filled to prevent any further infection.

A surgical microscope, that magnifies to 20x, is used during the treatment and greatly enhances the success rate. Most courses of treatment will involve two or more visits to your swiss smile dentist.
