✅ What is a root canal treatment?
A root canal treatment (sometimes called endodontic treatment) is a dental procedure in which the dentist removes the inflamed or dead nerve from inside the tooth. This lets you keep the tooth and stops the infection from spreading.
❓ Why?
You need a root canal treatment when the nerve inside your tooth becomes inflamed, usually because of decay, a leaking filling or an injury. The warning signs of a root canal problem include:
Persistent toothache
Sensitivity to hot or cold
Swelling or an abscess
Lingering pain after biting or chewing
Does a root canal treatment hurt?
Thanks to a local anaesthetic, the treatment itself is virtually painless. Many patients feel some mild soreness afterwards, but paracetamol or ibuprofen usually takes care of it.
⏱️ How long does a root canal treatment take?
A root canal treatment usually takes 45 to 90 minutes, depending on how complex the tooth is.
💸 Cost of a root canal treatment
Prices vary with the treatment involved. For more information, feel free to call 071 203 2474.
We also offer a 20% discount for university students.
🦷 X-rays for root canal treatment
We take an X-ray before and after the treatment to map the root canals clearly and check the result.
✅ Root canal cleaning – skilled and thorough at Skydent
Cleaning out the root canal is key to preventing pain and further infection. At Skydent in Leiden we take this step seriously: we don’t just remove the inflamed tissue, we clean and disinfect the entire canal system with precision and modern equipment. X-rays and, where needed, 3D scans let us see every root tip accurately, so no bacteria slip through. That gives you a lasting result and one less thing to worry about when it comes to recurring complaints.
