Root canal treatment in Medellín
Does a tooth hurt? A root canal treatment takes the pain away and saves the tooth
If a tooth aches, hurts when you bite, or stays sensitive to cold or heat, the nerve inside may be inflamed or infected. A root canal treatment cleans the inside of the tooth, takes the pain away and lets you keep your natural tooth instead of extracting it. At Royal Dental Care in El Poblado, Medellín, we first confirm the diagnosis with an assessment and an x-ray.
When you may need a root canal treatment
How the treatment works
1. Assessment and x-ray
We examine the tooth and take an x-ray to confirm whether the nerve is affected and the tooth can be saved.
2. Cleaning the canals under anaesthesia
Under local anaesthesia we remove the inflamed or infected tissue inside the tooth and disinfect the canals.
3. Sealing and restoration
We seal the canals and rebuild the tooth. Depending on the case, it is then protected with an onlay or a crown.
Treatment time
At the assessment we tell you how many visits you need. If you are in pain, message us on WhatsApp so we can see you as a priority.
