When there is a problem with the teeth, especially a severe toothache, root treatment becomes one of the options. Root treatment is to remove the nerves and blood vessels in the pulp, completely eliminating pain and preserving the tooth. This process is complex, not all cases apply, and can make teeth brittle. Therefore, it is quite important to choose the right doctor and understand the price.
What is the principle of root treatment?
The main purpose of root treatment is to remove infected or damaged pulp tissue, including nerves and blood vessels, followed by a thorough cleaning of the root canal and finally filling with filling material to ensure that the tooth is protected from bacterial attack. Teeth that have undergone root treatment lose their nutrient supply and become more fragile. After the treatment is completed, the dentist will usually recommend crowns to protect the tooth from further damage.

What conditions do I need to have root treatment?
Root treatment may be required if you:
· Persistent toothache, even pain to the head
· Pain when biting
· Pus or redness in the gums
· Tooth color changes
· Particularly sensitive to heat and cold
· Broken teeth
When the symptoms of acute pulpitis appear in the tooth and the inflammation does not subside naturally, root treatment is often the only solution.
