Endodontic treatment and removal of silver caps
「The tooth pulp (nerve) is the heart of your tooth」
Endodontic treatment covers three types of treatment: Cavity treatment, nerve preservation treatment, and root canal treatment.
The nerves in our teeth play a vital role, and we should certainly avoid simply removing these nerves.
Recently we have entered an age in which low-invasive treatment has become possible by using tools like a magnifying glass or mini-microscope along with a micro-scale cutting tool, so it has become eminently possible to retain the quality of the teeth and to retain the nerves. At our clinic we offer safe and low-invasive treatments aimed at maintaining and/or rebuilding the nerves.

Root canal treatment
Root canal treatment refers to a procedure involving the removal of a nerve that has caused a serious inflammation or infection, or where necrosis has occurred, and the complete sealing of the surrounding area with a highly biocompatible material. In cases of problems where the patient has already had root canal treatment, or where the nerve needs to be removed for some reason (e.g. a cavity, a crack resulting from wear, an infection occurring in a crevice etc.), we carry out treatment after the thorough preparations detailed below, and using methods minimising as far as possible any damage to the body’s natural ability to recover.

Each file (tool) is used for one person only and then discarded (without being sterilised for re-use)

100% usage of highly biocompatible and long-term stable natural bark to fill in the root canal (gutta-percha: 100% natural resin from the Tochu tea tree)
