Inflammation of the dental pulp (pulpitis)
sometimes causes extreme pain and should
therefore be treated by your dentist.

If the inflammation is at an advanced stage
and the dental pulp (pulpa) cannot be
conserved it has to be removed.
Root treatment involves removing the dental
pulp under local anaesthetic, cleaning and
disinfecting of the root canal as well as using
a filling material with the best possible
sealing and wall-permanent properties.
Although the tooth is no more vital after root
treatment, it can be conserved
and continues to maintain its function.
