Root Canal Treatment
Root canal treatment preserves the tooth if a cavity reaches the tooth's nerves.

If the tooth's nerve is dead, irritated, or infected, a root canal is needed to preserve the tooth. This can be caused by cavities, deep fillings, or previous crown work. Without treatment, bacteria inside the tooth can spread to the root tip, leading to inflammation in the jawbone. This inflammation may become visible as a "pimple" (fistula) on the gum. While this condition can be painful, it often has no symptoms and is detected during annual dental check-ups.
The root canals are cleaned to ensure all infection is removed. After this, filling material is used to replace the cleaned tissue, which is known as a root filling. Treatment may occur in one visit but can sometimes require multiple appointments. Once the root filling is complete, a temporary filling is placed on top of the tooth to protect it from bacteria. The tooth must then be restored to its natural shape with either composite filling or a porcelain crown.

Our goal is to keep your tooth for as long as possible without needing to extract it. That's why a root canal is a good option. If you wait too long to get a root canal for a tooth that needs it, the infection can spread further, and eventually, the tooth may need to be extracted. If you experience toothache for a prolonged period, the risk of infection is high. If you have an untreated abscess for a long time, the infection is likely to spread, making a root canal treatment too late. In that case, the next step would be to remove the tooth entirely.
The treatment time varies depending on the complexity of the tooth—both in terms of the number of canals, placement, etc. For the treatment to be successful, and thus for you to preserve your tooth, we take the time we need. Often, the treatment is divided into several sessions, usually two or three, and it takes about 60-90 minutes. This can be a complex treatment, so it is important that you do not postpone the visit once you start. We have good experience with root canal treatments. If the tooth is very complex, we also work closely with specialists. In an examination, we will provide you with answers regarding the treatment course, time, and number of canals. We will also provide all the information you need to feel confident that you are in good hands.
A complete examination and cleaning always costs 995 NOK with us. This applies to both your first visit and future annual check-ups. The examination includes X-rays, a full diagnosis and mapping, removal of tartar - in addition to giving you tips and advice on how to best take care of your own oral health until the next visit.
