Root canal treatment aims to remove the source of infection, alleviate pain, and save the tooth from extraction. Once the procedure is completed, the tooth should function normally, and with proper care, it can last a lifetime.

It’s important to note that at Déntica we use modern root canal procedures, which are generally comfortable due to local anesthesia, and our dental technology is more efficient and less time-consuming. If you experience symptoms such as severe toothache, sensitivity to hot or cold, swelling, or a pimple-like bump on the gums, it’s essential to schedule an appointment with Dra. Lina Rivera promptly, as these could be signs of an infected or damaged tooth that may require a root canal.
