Endodontics, popularly known as root canal treatment, is the dental specialty dedicated to solving problems with the dental pulp and tooth roots, ensuring that you continue to smile with health and comfort.

The procedure involves removing the pulp of the tooth, which contains nerves and blood vessels, and replacing it with a restorative material, restoring the functionality of your tooth.

Root canal treatment is indicated in several situations, such as:

• Painful teeth: When the pulp is inflamed (pulpitis) due to deep cavities, fractures or other problems, treatment relieves the pain and restores the tooth's health.

• Teeth without vitality: When the pulp dies, causing inflammation in the root, which can generate cysts or granulomas.

• Prosthetic treatment: In cases that require greater tooth wear, such as tilted teeth, to ensure the durability of the treatment.

• Endodontic retreatment: When previous treatment was not effective, correcting problems caused by root curvatures or calcified canals.

Using cutting-edge technology and modern techniques, root canal treatment is usually performed in just one appointment, ensuring speed and comfort. More complex cases may require additional care.
