Endodontics

Endodontics, also known as root canal treatment, is a vital dental procedure performed to save severely damaged teeth instead of resorting to extraction.

This treatment is essential when there is significant infection or damage due to deep cavities, accidental impacts, or gum problems.

Symptoms that Require Endodontics

If you experience any of the following symptoms, you may need endodontic treatment:

• Sudden and intense pain.

• Extreme sensitivity to hot beverages.

• Pain when touching or pressing on the affected tooth.

These symptoms indicate that the tooth’s nerve may be compromised, requiring specialized care.

Endodontic Process in Costa Rica

• Local Anesthesia: We perform endodontics under local anesthesia, ensuring that the process is comfortable and pain-free for the patient.

• Duration of Treatment: Generally, the treatment is completed in a single session. However, cases with infections or complications may require additional visits.

• Post-Treatment Pain Management: To minimize any discomfort after the procedure, analgesics may be prescribed.

Post-Endodontic Restoration

It is crucial to perform a definitive restoration of the treated tooth, such as placing a resin, inlay, or crown.

This stage is fundamental to ensure the durability and functionality of the tooth, preventing future fractures or contamination.

Maintenance and Post-Treatment Care

After endodontics, it is essential to continue visiting your dentist regularly for check-ups.

These visits allow for monitoring the health of the treated tooth and early detection of any signs of problems in other areas of the mouth.
