Removal of dental nerves

Are you troubled by a toothache? Are the pains becoming unbearable? The treatment of dental nerve removal in our clinic will solve all problems and preserve the health of your teeth.

A tooth is not composed only of hard tissues, but the inner cavity of the tooth is filled with soft pulp that has a loose, fibrous structure. This is where the lymph and blood channels are condensed, as well as a network of nerve endings. The nerves supply the surrounding tissue with oxygen and useful substances. When the tooth's biggest enemy, caries, reaches the soft part of the tooth, or the dental nerve, pain occurs, and treatment becomes a necessity at this point. Taking analgesics will only temporarily solve the problem, however, the infected tissue will remain such until dental nerve removal occurs.

Tooth Treatment and Dental Nerve Removal

Modern procedures for removing dental nerves from root canals include precise x-ray diagnosis, the use of modern machines that effectively expand and clean root canals, the use of agents that destroy bacteria, remove remnants of dead dental pulp and do not cause a change in tooth color, and the use of drugs that are inserted into the canal, which are aggressive enough but do not damage the periodontal tissue at the same time.

If caries is not removed in time, an infection and toothache occur, so the most common solution in these situations is dental nerve removal, as the only permanent and safe one. Dental nerve removal implies the extraction of soft pulp tissue. This procedure is necessary in the case of pulp inflammation, when treatment is difficult or impossible. If the inflammatory process is not eliminated, it can spread to adjacent teeth and turn into purulent inflammation. The dental nerve is usually completely removed, and in some cases, a partial amputation of the pulp is performed. It is necessary to preserve a part of the nerve so that the enamel continues to receive necessary nutrients in a natural way.

Consequences of Removal

A tooth whose nerve has been removed is very vulnerable. It does not have a source of supply of minerals, vitamins, and oxygen, as the process of blood circulation has ended for it. At the slightest crisis in the oral cavity, such a tooth will react first. If not treated properly, the hard tissues of "dead" teeth will quickly darken and decay. Due to the loss of access to nutritious ingredients, the enamel will start lacking calcium, fluoride, and vitamins, which will negatively affect its strength. To prevent such consequences, dentists recommend a series of procedures, such as the use of medical pastes and special gels.
