Specialist in
Endodontics

Endodontics is a specialty of dentistry that focuses on treating problems of the dental pulp and tissues surrounding the root of the tooth. The dental pulp is the soft tissue found inside the tooth, and contains the nerves and blood vessels that nourish it.

When the dental pulp becomes inflamed or infected due to a deep cavity, tooth fracture, or trauma, it can cause pain and other symptoms, and endodontic treatment may be necessary. The goal of endodontic treatment is to remove the infected pulp and clean the root canal, and then seal the tooth to prevent reinfection.

¿Qué se espera de la endodoncia? En Ortoclin, buscamos ofrecerte una experiencia de endodoncia que vaya más allá de simplemente tratar una raíz dental. Nuestros especialistas en endodoncia están comprometidos en proporcionarte un tratamiento efectivo y cómodo, utilizando tecnología avanzada y técnicas especializadas.

Facts about endodontics

  • Endodontics is a common procedure in dentistry, performed to treat teeth with inflammation or infection of the dental pulp.

  • Common symptoms that indicate the need for root canal treatment include tooth pain, sensitivity to cold or heat, swelling and redness in the gums, and a painful sensation when biting or chewing food.

  • The endodontic procedure is usually performed under local anesthesia to ensure patient comfort during treatment. In some cases, it may be necessary to prescribe pain relievers or antibiotics before or after the procedure to control pain or infection.

  • After endodontic treatment, the patient may experience a sensation of sensitivity or discomfort in the area of the treated tooth for a few days, but this usually disappears over time. It is important to follow your dentist's instructions on dental hygiene and post-procedure care to ensure a quick and complete recovery.

  • The success of endodontic treatment depends on several factors, including the overall health of the tooth and the patient's ability to maintain good oral hygiene after treatment. In general, the success rate of endodontic treatment is high, and treated teeth can last for many years, or even a lifetime with proper care.

  • If endodontic treatment is not successful or cannot be performed, it may be necessary to extract the tooth and consider tooth replacement options, such as a dental implant or dental bridge.

  • In some cases, endodontics is performed as part of a broader treatment to restore the patient's oral health, such as in the case of a fractured or weakened tooth that requires root canal treatment and a dental crown.
