Root Canal Treatment (Under Microscope)

Root canal (endodontic) treatment removes infected or damaged tissue from inside a tooth, then cleans, shapes and seals the canals to save the tooth. At Dentista.pl the work is carried out under a microscope for magnified visibility, which supports thorough cleaning of the canal system. Pricing reflects how many canals the tooth has, and re-treatment of teeth that were root-filled previously is also offered.

Root canal treatment, or endodontics, is used to rescue a tooth whose inner pulp — the soft tissue containing nerves and blood vessels — has become inflamed or infected, often through deep decay, a crack or trauma. Left untreated this can cause pain and abscesses, so the aim of treatment is to remove the diseased tissue, disinfect the fine canal system inside the roots and seal it to prevent reinfection, allowing the natural tooth to be kept rather than extracted. At Dentista.pl endodontic treatment is performed under a dental microscope, which magnifies and illuminates the inside of the tooth so the clinician can locate and clean the canals more precisely — particularly valuable in teeth with complex or narrow anatomy. The tooth is numbed, the canals are cleaned and shaped with fine instruments, and then filled and sealed; a tooth that has had root canal treatment is often restored afterwards with a crown to protect it, as it can become more brittle. The fee depends on how many canals the tooth contains, from a single-canal front tooth up to a four-canal molar, and the clinic also undertakes re-treatment where a previously root-filled tooth has developed problems and the old filling must be removed and replaced. Root canal treatment suits patients with deep decay, pulp inflammation or infection who want to preserve the tooth; the dentist assesses the tooth, usually with radiographs, and explains the likely number of visits and any restoration needed afterwards.
