When the inside of the tooth is inflamed
how the tooth can be saved
Inflammation inside a tooth often results from deep tooth decay or bacterial infections. Without treatment, the inflammation can spread and cause severe pain. However, targeted therapy often allows the tooth to be saved.
Treatment is based on precise diagnostics and modern technology. Digital X-rays show the affected areas and help to accurately determine the length of the root canals. Electronic length measuring devices further support this planning.
During treatment, the canals are prepared with rotary instruments made of nickel-titanium. These flexible instruments allow for thorough cleaning, even in complex canal structures.
For added safety, the tooth is isolated with a rubber dam during treatment. This technique reduces the penetration of germs and creates controlled working conditions.
What does a root canal treatment entail?
Root canal treatment is a dental procedure used to treat inflamed or dead dental nerves. The inflamed tissue is removed from inside the tooth. The root canals are then thoroughly cleaned, disinfected, and tightly sealed. The goal is to preserve the natural tooth and prevent the infection from spreading.

Frequently asked questions about the treatment of inflamed teeth
Is treatment of the inside of a tooth painful?
Modern procedures are generally performed under effective local anesthesia. This usually makes the treatment virtually painless.
How long does such a treatment take?
The duration depends on the condition of the tooth and the number of root canals. In many cases, the treatment can be completed within one or two appointments.
Why is treatment better than tooth extraction?
The natural tooth is preserved and can continue to fulfill its function in the dentition. This also supports the stability of the entire dental arch.
What happens after the treatment?
Regular check-ups monitor the healing process. In some cases, the tooth is subsequently stabilized with a crown.
