Root canal treatment in Casablanca
Root canal treatment lets you keep a tooth whose nerve is inflamed or infected instead of extracting it. Under local anaesthesia it is painless, and it is precisely what relieves the pain.
When is root canal treatment needed?
Lingering sensitivity
Sharp pain with hot or cold that persists after contact.
Pain at night
Spontaneous pain that wakes you up: a sign of pulpitis.
Abscess or fistula
Swelling, or a small “bubble” on the gum.
Deep decay
The decay reaches the nerve of the tooth.
Fractured tooth
The fracture exposes the pulp.
Darkened tooth
Change of colour after an old knock.
Root canal treatment, step by step
Local anaesthesia
The tooth is completely numbed before starting.
Isolation
The tooth is isolated so the work is done in a clean field.
Removing the nerve
The tooth is opened and the diseased pulp removed.
Cleaning the canals
Shaping with fine instruments and disinfecting solutions.
Filling
The canals are sealed tightly.
Rebuilding
The tooth is rebuilt, often followed by a crown.
Why a crown afterwards?
A root-treated tooth is no longer nourished from the inside and becomes more brittle, especially molars.
- Preventing fractureThe crown surrounds and reinforces the tooth
- Case by caseOn a tooth with little damage, a bonded restoration may be enough
- X-ray checkTo confirm healing around the root
After the visit: what is normal
Tenderness when chewing for two or three days is common and settles with an ordinary painkiller. If the pain increases or swelling appears, contact the clinic on 06 97 88 85 80.
Your questions, our answers
Can a root-treated tooth still hurt?
It no longer feels hot or cold, but the tissues around the root can become inflamed if reinfection occurs. An X-ray check makes it possible to verify this.
How long does root canal treatment take?
Usually between 45 minutes and 1.5 hours per visit, depending on the tooth and the number of canals.
Can an old root canal treatment be redone?
Yes, this is retreatment, indicated when the filling is incomplete or the infection has come back.
Is it better to extract and place an implant?
When the tooth can be saved, keeping it remains the priority. An implant is an excellent solution when it can no longer be saved.
