The most common reason is severe toothache. The living part (the nerve) of the tooth may be inflamed to such an extent that we need to remove the nerve in order to stop the pain.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The inflamed living tooth tissue is removed during root canal treatment. This is done under local anaesthetics. Next, the canals are cleaned, disinfected and filled. The tooth is then closed again with filling. <\/p>\n<p>If the root end is inflamed, the nerve in the tooth is already dead. The dead nerve tissue causes the inflammatory response. This root end inflammation can break through the jaw bone and cause an abscess. This can be very dangerous, particularly if the abscess is located in the lower jaw and on the side where the tongue is. It usually spreads to the side where the cheek is. If you have such an abscess, you should always come to the practice or, if we are not available, call our emergency number. The dentist on duty will then remove the dead nerve tissue from the root and clean the root canals. It will often be necessary to open the abscess and let the pus out. You will then be given antibiotics.<\/p>\n<h3>Flexible and \u2018mechanical\u2019<\/h3>\n<p>We use special small nickel-titanium (niti) files to empty, clean and fill the root canals. We do not file by hand as in the olden days, but \u201cmechanical\u201d. This saves us and the patient time. As these niti files are very flexible, we can reach every spot in the root and clean it completely.  We also use an electric root canal length measurer so that we need to take fewer X-rays.  <\/p>\n<h3>Aftercare<\/h3>\n<p>After the root canal treatment we regularly check the tooth over a period of six to twelve months. If all goes well, it may be a good idea to have a crown placed on the tooth to give it back its strength and prevent breaks.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_2&#8243;][et_pb_image _builder_version=&#8221;3.13.1&#8243; src=&#8221;https:\/\/viaclinicadental.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/csm_kiesB_859892b61f.png&#8221; animation_style=&#8221;slide&#8221; animation_duration=&#8221;500ms&#8221; animation_intensity_slide=&#8221;10%&#8221; animation_direction=&#8221;left&#8221; \/][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_2&#8243;][et_pb_image _builder_version=&#8221;3.0.53&#8243; src=&#8221;http:\/\/viaclinicadental.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/csm_kiesA_2a3b956dd1.png&#8221; show_in_lightbox=&#8221;off&#8221; url_new_window=&#8221;off&#8221; use_overlay=&#8221;off&#8221; sticky=&#8221;off&#8221; align=&#8221;left&#8221; always_center_on_mobile=&#8221;on&#8221; border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221; force_fullwidth=&#8221;off&#8221; animation_style=&#8221;slide&#8221; animation_duration=&#8221;500ms&#8221; animation_intensity_slide=&#8221;10%&#8221; animation_direction=&#8221;left&#8221; show_bottom_space=&#8221;on&#8221; \/][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><div class=\"et_pb_row et_pb_row_0 et_pb_row_empty\">\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div> Root canal treatment There may be various reasons why someone needs root canal treatment.

Meestal is dat hevige kiespijn. Het levende deel (de zenuw) van de tand\/kies kan dan dermate ontstoken zijn, dat wij uw zenuw moeten verwijderen om van de pijn af te komen.<\/p><p>Tijdens een wortelkanaalbehandeling wordt het nog levende ontstoken tandweefsel verwijderd. Dit gebeurt onder plaatselijke verdoving. Vervolgens worden de kanaaltjes gereinigd, gedesinfecteerd en weer gevuld. Daarna wordt de tand of kies weer afgesloten met een vulling.<\/p><p>Zit er aan de wortelpunt een ontsteking, dan is de zenuw in de tand of kies al dood. Het dode zenuwweefsel zorgt voor de ontstekingsreactie. Deze wortelpuntontsteking kan door het kaakbot heen breken en een abces tot gevolg hebben. Dit kan heel gevaarlijk zijn. Zeker wanneer het abces in de onderkaak zit, met name aan de kant van de tong. Meestal breekt het door naar de wangzijde. Kom met zo\u2019n abces altijd naar de praktijk of neem, als wij niet aanwezig zijn, contact op met het spoednummer. De dienstdoende tandarts zal het dode zenuwweefsel uit de wortel verwijderen en de kanalen in de wortel schoonmaken. Vaak is het nodig om het abces open te maken om de pus er uit te laten lopen en daarna ook nog een een antibioticum te slikken.<\/p><h3>Flexibel<\/h3><p>Voor het leegmaken, reinigen en vullen van de wortelkanalen gebruiken wij speciale nikkel-titanium (niti) vijltjes. Wij doen dat niet meer zoals vroeger met de hand, maar \u2018mechanisch\u2019. Dit is minder tijdrovend, waardoor ook u minder lang in de stoel hoeft te liggen. Omdat de niti-vijltjes zeer buigzaam zijn, kunnen we de hele wortel goed bereiken en volledig reinigen. Tevens gebruiken wij een elektrische wortellengtebepaler waardoor we het aantal te maken r\u00f6ntgenfoto\u2019s tot een minimum kunnen beperken.<\/p><h3>Nazorg<\/h3><p>Na de wortelkanaalbehandeling houden we de tand of kies zes tot twaalf maanden in de gaten. Blijft daarna alles goed gaan, dan is het verstandig om de kies te voorzien van een kroon om hem zijn stevigheid terug te geven en breuk te voorkomen.<\/p>","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-445","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Root canal treatment - VIA Cl\u00ednica Dental<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"The inflamed living tooth tissue is removed during root canal treatment.
