It refers to the procedure through which the tooth nerve is extracted to avoid complete extraction of the tooth. Root canal treatment is especially indicated for patients who have fractured teeth, deep cavities, and irreversible lesions in the tooth’s pulp tissue. It is one of the most performed dental procedures in patients who, for any of the mentioned reasons, wish to improve their oral health and of course, avoid the complete loss of any tooth.
Root Canal Treatment
The dental specialty called Endodontics deals with the internal health of the tooth. When dental decay has penetrated deeply into the tooth and manages to irritate the dental pulp where the nerve and blood vessels are housed, the Specialist must treat it to remove the stimulus and allow this pulp to reduce inflammation (root canal treatment). However, when there is too much damage, the tooth must be treated more deeply to remove the irritated and sometimes decomposed nerve tissue to clean the root canals where the pulp is housed and seal these spaces with moisture-resistant filling materials. With current technology, this can be done in one session when there is no nerve infection. Today it is a precise and safe technique.

The root canal treatment consists of drilling the affected tooth to extract the nerve (pulp). Then, the pulp chamber and canals are cleaned and shaped from the dental root, to finally fill it with suitable material that is biocompatible with the body. In this scenario, the tooth is restored and, if necessary, covered with a crown. After completing the procedure, Dr. Lindo will continue to monitor the patient to ensure proper recovery and assist if the patient has any questions.
