If a tooth aches at night, or keeps hurting long after something hot or cold, the pulp is often inflamed.

Root canal treatment on Andrássy út
Root canal treatment aims to save an inflamed tooth so it doesn't have to be extracted. After a local anaesthetic, we clean and disinfect the root canals with rotary instruments, then fill them. Treatment usually takes two visits.
Who it's for
When might you need root canal treatment?
When the nerve inside a tooth (the pulp) is inflamed or has died, root canal treatment can often save the tooth. Whether that applies to you, we decide from the examination and an X-ray.
If your tooth hurts badly or throbs, call us and we'll try to see you as soon as possible.
02
Swelling or a darkening tooth
If the gum around a tooth is swollen, or the tooth has turned greyish, it's worth having it checked soon.
Inflammation around the root
03
A treated tooth that hurts again
If a tooth that had root canal treatment years ago starts to hurt, the treatment can often be redone.

What you get
What you get from root canal treatment
After treatment you keep your own tooth, protected by a filling, an inlay or a crown. We tell you in advance how many visits to expect and what it will cost.
Treatment planned on X-ray
We check the number and path of the canals on an X-ray before we begin.
Rotary cleaning, thorough disinfection
The canals are shaped evenly with rotary instruments and rinsed through, so no infection is left behind.
Gentle care under anaesthetic
We work under local anaesthetic and keep checking that you're comfortable throughout.
