Endodontics (Root Canal Treatment)
Endodontics is a specialized area of the dentistry focus on treating disease or injury to the dental pulp. The Root canal treatment become necessary when the pulp is irritated or infected by caries or a tooth fracture.
The pulp is a soft tissue inside the tooth which contains blood vessels and nerves.
The root canal treatment is made by the Endodoncist to stop the decay and ache. The pulp is removed and the inside of the tooth is carefully cleaned and disinfected, then filled and sealed with a thermoplastic sterile material. Once it is finish the tooth is ready to be rebuilt, normally with a crown.
We use the latest technology as Rotary instruments and digital radiology that allow us to provide, safer faster and painless endodontic treatments
Is the root canal procedure painful?
- The advanced technology, techniques and materials we currently use allow the specialist to perform the endodontics root canal treatment faster, with minimal discomfort and in a less harmful way.
- In some extreme cases, such as when a patient hesitates and waits too long to get proper attention, some pain may be experienced during the procedure, this due to the fact that the pulp is chronically and severely damaged; however we use excellent medications to diminish all sorts of discomfort and provide the best experience possible to our patients.
