ENDODONTICS / ROOT CANAL TREATMENT

Endodontics is a procedure aimed at preserving damaged teeth when the dental pulp has been compromised, thus preventing tooth loss. In dental clinics, this treatment involves removing the affected pulp and any microorganisms present, leaving a cavity that is then filled and sealed with an inert, biocompatible material. This procedure also helps to combat infection of the periodontal support tissues.

Tooth decay is the main cause of inflammation and infection of the dental nerves treated by dentists, but there are also other reasons for resorting to this treatment: trauma, fractures, abrasions, wear and tear, or complications during certain restorative procedures.

All of these situations are associated with specific symptoms:

Tooth sensitivity to cold and/or heat.

Inflammation of the gums.

Discomfort when chewing.

Change in tooth color.

Endodontics, or root canal treatment, is a safe and effective technique performed in a dental clinic. If you need to undergo one, there is no need to worry. Although it is performed under local anesthesia, it is common to experience slight pain after the treatment. However, this discomfort usually begins to subside after a few days.

Types of endodontics
Depending on the number of canals in the tooth, the dentist determines the most appropriate type of endodontics:

Single-root endodontics: This is performed on teeth that have only one root or canal, usually incisors and canines. This treatment is performed in a dental clinic according to the patient's needs.

Multi-root canal treatment: This is performed on teeth with two or more canals, such as premolars and molars. The dentist adapts the procedure to ensure thorough cleaning and proper filling of the canals.
