ROOT CANAL TREATMENT COLOGNE

Inside each tooth is sensitive tissue consisting of nerves, blood vessels, and connective tissue. These structures run in fine root canals and supply the tooth with important nutrients. If this tissue becomes inflamed – often as a result of deep caries or trauma – root canal treatment is necessary to save the tooth and reliably eliminate pain.

In our dental practice mundum in Cologne, we use state-of-the-art endodontic methods to gently and effectively remove inflamed tissue. With the help of precise electronic length measurement and special preparation systems, we thoroughly clean and disinfect the affected root canals before they are tightly sealed. In this way, your natural tooth remains stable and functional in the long term.

ROOT CANAL TREATMENT SAVES TEETH

If caries progresses into the root of the tooth, the tissue inside can become inflamed. In such cases, root canal treatment in Cologne is often the only way to save the tooth and avoid consequential damage. If left untreated, the inflammation can spread and, in the worst case, damage the jawbone.

Root canal treatment is therefore the most important alternative to tooth extraction. Without it, the affected tooth would have to be replaced by a bridge or an implant. Through the use of modern endodontic procedures in our practice, we can often preserve teeth in the long term and protect your natural teeth.

ENDODONTICS

Endodontics deals with the inside of the tooth and the structures within it, such as nerves and blood vessels. The aim of this treatment is to preserve the natural tooth and effectively treat inflammation in the root canal.

If bacteria penetrate the dental pulp, a painful inflammation usually occurs. This is caused by expanding blood vessels that put pressure on the nerve in the root canal. Common triggers are deep caries, but also dental accidents or, in rare cases, previous treatments. In our dental practice in Cologne, we treat such inflammations with a precise root canal treatment to preserve the tooth in the long term.

ULTRASOUND AND LASER APPLICATION

During a root canal treatment in Cologne, the inflammation inside the tooth is completely eliminated. The root canals are thoroughly cleaned and prepared using modern endodontic methods. In our dental practice, we also use ultrasound and laser technology to clean the complex canal system particularly gently and effectively.

After cleaning, the root canal is filled, sealing the tooth in a bacteria-proof manner. Since the tooth is no longer vital after the treatment, we recommend a crown for protection. This ensures that the tooth remains permanently stable, functional and aesthetically pleasing despite the inflammation.

Questions and Answers

According to a study by the German Society for the Preservation of Teeth, the success rate of an uncomplicated initial treatment is an impressive 95%.

Root canal treatment becomes necessary when the root canal has become inflamed by bacteria – usually as a result of deep caries or a dental accident. Typical signs are acute toothache, sensitivity to pressure or swelling. To save the tooth, we remove the inflamed tissue as part of a root canal treatment and seal the tooth in a bacteria-proof manner.

In our dental practice in Cologne, root canal treatment is performed under local anesthesia, so you will experience the treatment completely pain-free. First, the tooth is opened, the inflamed tissue is removed, and the root canals are thoroughly prepared with state-of-the-art instruments and ultrasonic cleaning. This is followed by a root canal filling, which permanently seals the tooth.

A successfully root-canal-treated tooth can last for many years, often even a lifetime. The key is a careful root canal filling and subsequent protection with a dental crown, which stabilizes the tooth and protects it from new stresses.
