Root canal treatment

Root canal treatment allows you to save a tooth whose pulp has become infected or died. At Mabel Clinic, we perform it painlessly, under anaesthesia and magnification, so you can keep your own tooth instead of having it extracted.

Primary root canal treatment at Mabel Clinic

When is root canal treatment needed

The indication for root canal treatment is irreversible pulpitis or necrosis of the pulp, most commonly as a result of deep tooth decay, trauma or a cracked tooth. Typical symptoms include severe, throbbing pain that worsens at night, a prolonged reaction to hot and cold, pain when biting, and swelling of the gum. Sometimes the process is asymptomatic and is only detected on an X-ray.

How root canal treatment is performed at Mabel Clinic

We perform the treatment under local anaesthetic and using a rubber dam, which isolates the tooth from bacteria present in the saliva. We thoroughly clean, disinfect and tightly fill the canals, monitoring every stage radiologically. We work under magnification, which allows us to find and prepare even very narrow canals. Most teeth can be successfully treated in one or two visits.

What happens after root canal treatment

Upon completion of treatment, the tooth requires a tight restoration to ensure its durability: ranging from a composite filling, through a glass fibre post, to a crown in cases of more extensive damage. Sensitivity when biting may persist for a few days, gradually subsiding. We monitor the outcome of the treatment with X-rays during subsequent check-ups.
