Today, we'd like to give you an insight into this important procedure and show you how we can help you maintain your dental health.

When do you need a root canal treatment?

A root canal treatment is usually carried out when the tooth nerve is inflamed or has already died. This can have various causes, such as caries, a deep gum pocket or an injury to the tooth. The symptoms that can indicate a root canal treatment are varied:

1. Severe pain: Persistent or increasing pain in the tooth may be an indication of inflammation or infection that requires root canal treatment.

2. Sensitivity: If your tooth is sensitive to hot or cold foods/drinks and this condition persists, it may indicate inflammation of the dental pulp.

3. Swelling: Swelling in the area of the inflamed tooth or surrounding gums may indicate an infection.

4. Tooth discoloration: A dark discoloration of the tooth may indicate that the dental pulp is dead or in an advanced state of destruction.

5. Loose tooth: If a tooth becomes loose without any external injury, this may indicate inflammation in the root area.

6. Gum ulcer: The appearance of a painful ulcer on the gums near the affected tooth may indicate a root infection.

7. Tooth fracture: If a tooth is broken or severely damaged and the dental pulp is exposed, root canal treatment may be necessary.

How can Dr. Lehmann’s dental practice help you?

In our modern dental practice in Zurich, experienced dentists and a friendly team are available to relieve your toothache and restore your oral health. Our root canal treatments include the following steps:

1. Diagnosis: We perform a thorough examination and use modern technologies such as x-rays to assess the condition of your teeth and roots.

2. Local anesthesia: Before treatment, the affected area is carefully anesthetized to ensure that you do not feel any pain during the root canal treatment.

3. Removal of the infected pulp: Using special tools, we thoroughly remove the inflamed or dead dental nerve tissue from the root canal.

4. Cleaning and disinfection: The root canal is thoroughly cleaned and disinfected to eliminate all bacteria and infections and prevent re-inflammation.

5. Filling the root canal: After cleaning, the root canal is sealed with a special filling material to protect it from further infections.

6. Restoration of the tooth: In some cases, a crown or filling may be necessary to restore the tooth and give it stability.

Our goal is to offer you an effective and long-lasting solution for your dental health. With our expertise and the use of the latest techniques and materials, we can guarantee you a successful root canal treatment.
