Everything you need to know about a root canal treatment in The Hague

In this blog, you will learn everything about what a root canal treatment involves, the symptoms indicating that you might need one, and how to prevent needing a root canal treatment in the future.

What does a dentist do during a root canal treatment?

During a root canal treatment, the dentist ensures that:

The infected tissue is removed from the tooth
The root canals are thoroughly cleaned
The root canals are filled with a special material to prevent further infections

Symptoms indicating the need for a root canal treatment

If you experience any of the following symptoms, you may need a root canal treatment:

Persistent tooth pain: Especially when eating or applying pressure to the tooth.
Sensitivity to hot or cold: The sensitivity often lasts longer than usual.
Swelling or abscess: An abscess around the tooth can indicate an infection in the root.
Tooth discoloration: The tooth may darken due to nerve damage.

Do you have any of these symptoms? Schedule an appointment with a dentist in The Hague as soon as possible to prevent further damage.

Is a root canal treatment painful?

Many people believe that a root canal treatment is very painful, but this is usually not the case. Thanks to local anesthesia, you will not feel any pain during the procedure. After the treatment, the tooth may be temporarily sensitive, but this can often be managed with pain relievers. The discomfort is usually short-lived, and most patients experience only mild pain.

 Trustindex verifieert dat de oorspronkelijke bron van de recensie Google is. As a Physician, I need dental services that are excellent from a technical and client service standpoint. As well, it is a challenge for expats in Den Haag to identify optimal dental services. I met Dr Azzi Alshangi in 2024 when he had been working part time at another dental clinic, and his technical and social skills were so outstanding that I decided to follow him when he established his practice. On my first visit in August 2026, the reception staff (Sandra, Sam) were polite and respectful, and the intake services of Milan, a Dental Assistant, were thorough and outstanding.  Dr. Alshangi was as professional and informative as in 2024. From a medical and expat perspective, I cannot recommend this dental clinic enough.

 Trustindex verifieert dat de oorspronkelijke bron van de recensie Google is. Ik ben geen patiënt bij deze praktijk maar liep wel met pijn in mijn reeds gewortelkanaalde kies met kroon erop. Ik kon hier binnen 1 dag terecht om de ergste pijn te laten verhelpen. Zeer kundig met behoud van mijn kroon zijn er kanalen schoongemaakt. Volgende week maandag deel 2. Erg prettig geholpen in een mooie praktijk. Fijn kunnen communiceren via Whatsapp.
