Root canal treatment
Precise root canal treatment at Bols Tandartsen
Are you suffering from toothache or an inflamed dental nerve? Then a root canal treatment (also known as endodontic therapy) may be necessary to save your tooth. At Bols Tandartsen, we perform these treatments with the utmost care and precision.
Our dentist Caroliene Meijndert is highly experienced and specialized in root canal procedures, including complex cases. Thanks to her expertise and the use of a modern endodontic microscope, we can perform treatments with great accuracy and significantly increase the chances of long-term success.
What is a root canal treatment?
Inside every tooth is a root canal containing nerve tissue. When this tissue becomes infected or inflamed, prompt treatment is essential. During a root canal procedure, the affected tissue is carefully removed, the canal is thoroughly cleaned, and then sealed with a filling. This prevents further discomfort and helps preserve your natural tooth.
Suspect an infection?
Symptoms such as persistent toothache, sensitivity to heat or cold, swelling, or a pimple on the gum near the affected tooth may indicate an inflamed nerve. Don’t wait too long—feel free to contact us for a check-up or second opinion. We’re here to help you quickly and professionally.
Pain-free treatment
Many people worry that root canal treatment will be painful, but this is usually not the case. In most situations, the nerve is already dead, meaning the procedure is virtually painless. If the nerve is still partially alive or if you experience sensitivity, we always provide effective local anesthesia. Your comfort is our priority – we take the time to ensure a calm, pain-free experience.

What is the average waiting time for an appointment?

I’d prefer to always be treated by the same dentist, is that possible?
Yes, that’s possible. We aim to schedule your appointments with the same practitioner as much as possible. If you’re visiting for pain or an emergency, you may be seen by another practitioner so we can help you as quickly as possible.
I’d like to whiten my teeth, do you offer that service?
Absolutely! We use a completely safe whitening method that works gradually but effectively. Feel free to ask your practitioner for more information.
How often should I visit the dentist?
How often you need to visit our practice depends on several factors, such as the health of your gums and your risk of developing cavities. Your dentist, dental hygienist, or prevention assistant will advise you based on your individual needs.
I’m anxious, how do you take that into account?
We aim for open communication, so please feel free to share what makes you feel uneasy. We can agree on a stop signal if that helps. If you prefer, we can explain what we’re going to do beforehand and talk you through each step during the treatment so you know what’s happening. Or, if it’s more comforting, we can simply chat about everyday things!
Will my treatment be covered by health insurance?
That depends on your insurance policy. We’re happy to help you with information about reimbursements, as we can check how you are insured. For major treatments, we always provide a cost estimate in advance.
