Root Canal Treatment at Famidental in Biel

Root canal treatment makes it possible to save severely damaged or infected teeth and ensure their preservation. At Famidental in Biel, we offer modern and painless root canal treatments to maintain your dental health and prevent future issues

What is a Root Canal Treatment?

A root canal treatment is a procedure in which infected or inflamed pulp tissue is removed. The tooth is then thoroughly cleaned and sealed with a special filling. This treatment is necessary to alleviate pain and prevent the spread of infection.

When is a Root Canal Treatment Necessary?

A root canal treatment is typically performed when:

• Severe tooth pain occurs, often triggered by hot or cold foods and drinks.

• Deep decay or a severely damaged tooth has infected the pulp.

• An abscess or infection is present at the root tip of the tooth.

Pain During a Root Canal Treatment

Many patients worry about pain during root canal treatment. However, thanks to modern anesthesia techniques, the procedure is largely pain-free. We use local anesthesia to ensure you feel no pain during the treatment. If you still feel discomfort, we adjust the anesthesia individually to ensure your comfort.

Pain After a Root Canal Treatment

Post-treatment pain is usually mild and subsides within a few days. You may feel slight pressure or sensitivity, which can be well managed with over-the-counter pain relievers. If the pain persists or worsens, it’s important to contact us so we can determine the cause and take appropriate action.

Root Canal Treatment Costs

The cost of a root canal treatment varies depending on the complexity of the procedure and the affected tooth root. At Famidental, we place great importance on transparent pricing and individual consultation, so you know exactly what to expect. Our goal is to offer you the best possible treatment at a fair price.

The Root Canal Treatment Process

• Examination and X-ray: We begin with a thorough examination and X-ray to assess the condition of the tooth and determine the exact location of the infection.

• Anesthesia: The affected tooth and surrounding tissue are locally anesthetized to make the treatment pain-free.

• Access and Cleaning: An access point to the root canal is created to remove the infected pulp. The root canals are then cleaned and disinfected.

• Filling and Sealing: After cleaning, the canals are sealed with a biocompatible filling to prevent reinfection.

• Restoration: In most cases, the tooth is then restored with a crown or filling to regain its stability and functionality.
