Root canal treatment at the dentist at Marienplatz in Stuttgart
What is a root canal treatment?
A root canal treatment is used to treat the inflamed or devitalized nerve. The inflamed or devitalized parts are completely removed and the tooth is thoroughly disinfected and then tightly sealed. We also work with magnifying glasses, lasers, mechanical files and digital measuring devices to achieve the highest precision. In addition, the treatments are much gentler than before. Therefore, even with severe inflammation, a tooth can often be saved after root canal treatment.
Who needs a root canal treatment?
We recommend root canal treatment to anyone who has the following symptoms:
- with severe toothache or deep cavities
- in case of inflammation at the root tip or after serious accidents
