Endodontics

Bacteria reaching the inside of the tooth may lead to inflammation of  the pulp which can cause you great pains. Sometimes the process that results in a dead nerve is slow and painless due to infection that progresses slowly. Through the root canals bacteria can reach the bone structure where they cause inflammation (abscess or granuloma). The infections of the dental pulp require root canal treatment. Placement of the crowns or the fillings is not possible if root canal treatment hasn’t been performed correctly, i.e. if the cause of infection isn’t removed and the root canals are not cleaned and filled properly. Slight pain and tooth sensibility is a normal reaction after the root canal treatment; it is actually your organism’s reaction to the microorganisms that are left behind. Sometimes, root canal treatment can not be performed due to obstracted root canals, previously poorly performed root canal treatments etc. Some of these cases can be successfully resolved by performing an apicoectomy procedure.
