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.

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.
