Endodontics
1. What is it?
Endodontics is the part of dentistry that deals with the diagnosis and treatment of dental diseases that affect the dental pulp and surrounding tissues, including treatment of the inside of the roots (called a root canal). The name of this dental specialty comes from the Greek words “endo” (inside), “dont” (tooth) and CIA (referring to).
2. When is it necessary?
When decay attacks the teeth it will gradually boring. The first thing is damaging the enamel. If progress continues, it affects the dentine and, if it progresses further, it reaches the pulp where the nerve.
The process of progress is usually slow decay, so it is easy to detect them before they become too large. Without emmbargo not always see. They can be very tiny or be located between two teeth, so it must be our dentist who shall find. Often discovered through radiography.
It always hurts. Sometimes we do not feel pain until you got the nerve and then it’s too late.
When decay reaches the nerve, it becomes infected and inflamed and it hurts. If inflammation persists, the nerve can lose their vitality. I do not feel pain, but there is pus coming out of the root tip, and causes an abscess. Sometimes the body reacts by forming a sort of capsule around and then produces an abscess.
3. How much?
Depends on the number of roots that have the tooth treated. The price is usually about 90 euros per root but this can be increased if necessary complementary therapies, such as placing sprig to give more stability to the restoration to be made of the tooth crown, or the need for dental crowns Metal-porcelain or porcelain only.
