Endodontics, also known as root canal treatment, is a clinical procedure that consists of removing damaged or infected tissue from the interior of the tooth, cleaning and disinfecting the canals and sealing them to prevent future infections.
Thanks to Endodontics, it is possible to preserve the natural tooth, avoiding extraction and maintaining the chewing function and the aesthetics of the smile.
Endodontics is indicated when the tooth's nerve is inflamed or infected. It may be a solution if:
Not all dental pain requires an endodontic treatment, but it is important to assess in time to avoid complications.
The dental nerve can be affected by different causes, including:
In many cases, the damage progresses without symptoms until pain appears, so regular check-ups are key.
If you have dental pain, persistent sensitivity or inflammation, do not delay.
Relieves discomfort and eliminates the cause of the pain.
Prevents tooth loss by maintaining the original tooth.
Offers a conservative alternative before extraction.
Allows you to continue chewing normally and comfortably.
Halts the infection and protects the surrounding tissues.
Reinforces the treated tooth to maintain its long-term stability.
No. The treatment is carried out under local anaesthesia and its aim is to eliminate pain, not cause it.
In most cases, it is done in one or two sessions, depending on complexity.
Whenever possible, preserving the natural tooth is the best option.
After treatment, pain disappears. In very specific cases, additional follow-up may be needed.
