The Root Canal is an Odontology specialty that was first found long time ago, but it has been evolving so much over the years.

 

• Why is a Root Canal needed?

When the dental nerves have been affected by an infection, cavities, etc (which use to be associated with pain and/or abscess) it is possible to keep the tooth by cleaning the diseased tissue and sealing the root canals to reconstruct the piece later, sometimes also motivated prosthetic and / or aesthetic.

 

• Is the Root Canal painful? In every case, a treatment under local anesthesia would be conducted, therefore the treatment does not any cause pain. In some circumstances it can cause nuisance after the intervention, because of irritation on the surrounding tissues, therefore some soft analgesics are prescribed. 

 

• Which care should I have later? After the Root Canal it is important to make a definitive reconstruction as soon as possible to prevent bacterial leakage. From that moment, you should no have any special care.
