Immediate pain relief and preservation of your own tooth even in case of severe damage. Have your dental pulp removed by our experienced dentists
Removal of the dental pulp, also known as extirpation, is an effective way to save a damaged tooth and relieve pain caused by inflammation. The procedure helps prevent further spread of infection and minimizes the need for extraction. The patient thus retains their natural tooth and can return to normal functioning without restrictions.
The dentist will assess the condition of your tooth through a clinical examination and X-ray. He will check whether the pulp is inflamed or dead and whether extraction is necessary.
The dentist will apply local anesthesia to make the procedure completely painless. You will not feel any pain, just slight pressure.
He or she will then remove the decay and create an opening in the crown of the tooth to access the root canals and pulp. Using special instruments, the dentist will remove the pulp from the infected or dead tooth, along with the entire root system.
The canals are thoroughly mechanically cleaned and chemically disinfected to remove bacteria and tissue debris.
The dentist will then fill the root canals with a special material and seal the tooth with a filling. The tooth can also be temporarily sealed and the treatment completed at a subsequent visit.
During a follow-up visit, the dentist will check the healing and, if necessary, recommend further tooth reconstruction (e.g., a filling or crown).
Are you suffering from severe toothache? Don’t delay your visit to the dentist and risk spreading the infection to other parts of your body. Book an appointment at Casa Dental as soon as possible.
Pulp removal is a treatment in which the inner nerve tissue is removed from an infected or dead tooth to stop inflammation and save the tooth.
No, dental pulp removal is performed under local anesthesia, so the patient does not feel pain during the treatment, only pressure or touch.
Extirpation usually takes 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the complexity of the root system and the condition of the tooth.
After pulp removal, you may experience mild sensitivity, which can be relieved with common painkillers. Antibiotics are only prescribed in cases of extensive inflammation or infection.
After the pulp is removed, it is recommended to wait until the anesthesia wears off to avoid scratching or biting yourself. Afterwards, it is advisable to eat a soft diet.
As with any procedure, there may be some mild swelling or pain. Rarely, infections or incomplete removal of the marrow may occur, which may require further treatment.
Maintain oral hygiene, avoid hard and sticky foods, and visit your dentist regularly for checkups.
