A Root Canal treatment is probably the most common type of dental treatment that causes panic and worry with patients, and now in 2019 it is one of the most commontypes performed.

The Cancun dental specialists perform around 32 per week and can range from single canal teeth to Molars with 4 and even 5 Canals. It is a very Technique sensitive procedure and can be very tricky but this procedure not only relieves pain it can save teeth and extend the life and halt the need for more permanent and more Expensive dental work like Extractions, which then need Implants etc.

​

Modern endodontic treatment is very similar to a routine filling and can usually be completed in one or two appointments, depending on the condition of your tooth and your personal circumstances. Getting a root canal is relatively painless and extremely effective. You’ll be back to smiling, biting and chewing with ease in no time. Patients typically need a root canal when there is inflammation or infection in the roots of a tooth.

 

 

During root canal treatment, an endodontist who specializes in such treatment carefully removes the pulp inside the tooth, cleans, disinfects and shapes the root canals, and places a filling to seal the space and in the majority of cases the tooth is prepped for a Dental Crown.

​

Many endodontic procedures are performed to relieve the pain of toothaches caused by pulp inflammation or infection. With modern techniques and anesthetics, most patients report that they are comfortable during the procedure.

​

For the first few days after treatment, your tooth may feel sensitive, especially if there was pain or infection before the procedure. This discomfort can be relieved with over-the-counter or prescription medications. Follow your endodontist’s instructions carefully.

Your tooth may continue to feel slightly different from your other teeth for some time after your endodontic treatment is completed.
