Nerve treatment At CDC: an experienced team ensures a sustainable solution!
During a root canal treatment, also called a nerve treatment, the inner living part of a tooth (pulp) is removed. The root canals are then filed wider, disinfected, and refilled. Anesthesia is usually required for this treatment.

How does nerve treatment work?
A toothache caused by an inflamed nerve, and a root canal treatment is a familiar situation. Sometimes the nerve has already died, and bacteria live in the root canals, causing an infection around the root tip. Root canal treatment is also a solution to cure this inflammation.
Another reason why a root canal treatment may be necessary is to provide additional support for a crown or bridge.
The benefits at a glance
- By performing the nerve treatment you can save the tooth or molar
- The nerve treatment ensures that you will no longer have any pain due to the inflammation (which may persist for a few days after the treatment).
The most important information at a glance
In the questions below you will find all the information summarized, so that you quickly get a clear picture.
When is nerve treatment necessary?
If your teeth or molars are sensitive to hot and cold for a while, if you have a swollen cheek or severe toothache, this usually means that you have an inflammation.
Teeth have a root (located in the gums) and a crown (the visible part). The root contains tissue, also called pulp. If this tissue in the tooth becomes inflamed, it's usually very painful. The dentist will then perform a root canal treatment. A root canal treatment is also called a nerve treatment.
If the inflammation is not treated, the tissue dies and the jawbone around the root can become inflamed.

Office employeeQuestion and answer
Does the treatment cause pain?
After cleaning the canals, some pain may occur. This is usually mild and painkillers are not necessary. Sometimes the pain is more severe. This can last a week, but the pain can be easily controlled with painkillers. You can ask your dentist which painkiller is suitable for you. Occasionally, severe pain, swelling, and/or fever may occur. Fortunately, this is rare, but if it does occur, please contact us.
Is the treatment painful?
With local anesthesia, the treatment is rarely painful. The anesthetic will usually eliminate any existing pain immediately. You can discuss with your dentist whether further anesthesia is necessary. For subsequent treatments, no further anesthesia is often necessary because there is no sensation left in the tooth's nerve.
