Welcome to Dr. Veit Dentistry & Health Clinic

Endodontics

Known as root canal, it consists of removing the pulp of the tooth. The inner part of the tooth is then chemically and mechanically treated, being filled in by an appropriate substance.

- Symptoms:
  • - Deep cavities
  • - Sudden throbbing pain and it feels like painkillers do not have the expected effect
  • - Tooth will receive crown or similar
- How painful is the treatment?

The treatment is not painful. The anesthesia prevents the patient from any pain. In some cases, there could be a small sensitivity for 72 hours after the treatment, which can be solved with painkillers.

- Will the tooth become darker after the treatment?

No, it will not. In fact, the patient’s tooth will lose the shyness, which could result in a yellowish color. The exaggerated darkening usually happens when the tooth suffered a hemorrhage or mortification before the treatment.

-What happens if the root canal does not get appropriate treatment?

Deep toothache, inflammation, sore or even losing the tooth.

- I am afraid of the root canal treatment. What should I do?

You may use nitroxic acid sedation, which not only decreases the anxiety during the treatment but also presents an anesthetic effect.
