Root Canal Treatment in Cannes – Dr. Laurent SERS
Pain-free treatment of infected teeth to preserve your smile.
What is Root Canal Treatment?
A root canal treatment is a conservative treatment that involves removing the infected dental pulp (nerve and blood vessels) to stop the infection, eliminate pain, and avoid extraction. It is a common procedure in endodontics, performed under local anesthesia and is completely painless.
This treatment is generally necessary when decay has reached the tooth’s nerve or following dental trauma.
Why is it sometimes necessary to perform a root canal on a tooth?
The main reasons are:
- Deep decay that has reached the pulp
- Trauma or impact to the tooth (fall, blow)
- Pulpal necrosis (nerve death)
- Preparation for certain aesthetic restorations
- Infection with risk of abscess
💡 When a tooth undergoes root canal treatment, it stops being painful, but also becomes more fragile, hence the importance of reinforcing it with a crown.
Symptoms that may indicate pulpitis (affected nerve)
Sharp, throbbing, spontaneous pain
Hypersensitivity to hot or cold
Pain to touch or when chewing
Swelling or visible abscess
⚠️ Pain is often the only signal that a nerve is affected. A quick consultation can prevent complications.

🔬 Dr. SERS has precision equipment and digital imaging to ensure complete and safe treatment, even on complex posterior teeth.
After Root Canal Treatment: What to Expect?
A tooth that has undergone root canal treatment is no longer nourished by blood vessels. It becomes more brittle. It is highly recommended to:
Reinforce the tooth with a ceramic or zirconia crown
Avoid chewing on the treated side until the permanent restoration is placed
Monitor for any persistent pain
If discomfort persists for several weeks, a check-up is essential to rule out any risk of infection (cyst or apical abscess).
