Endodontics (root canal treatment)
This question is more than six months old, so the information in the answer may no longer be accurate.
Visitor asks:
Dear Sir/Madam, during root canal cleaning the dentist broke a white file used to clean the canal and it remained inside. Every two months I go to have the medication changed because of the long waiting time at the Dental Clinic. I would like to know how the procedure for removing the broken instrument is performed, whether it is painful, and whether I can ask for an anesthetic or pain relief because I am afraid—actually it is almost a phobia.
Thank you for your answer and have a nice day
Tanja
Dentist Tomaž Rotar answers:
Dear Sir/Madam!
Various methods and instruments are used to remove a broken file, because it is usually difficult to remove. The procedure does not require anesthesia because it is completely painless.
Have a nice day!
