Endodontics

Book appointment

intro

Preserving the natural tooth through safe treatment

Endodontics, also known as root canal treatment, is a procedure that treats infections inside the tooth and preserves the dental structure. When the pulp (the soft tissue inside the tooth) becomes damaged by deep cavities, trauma or inflammation, it must be removed and the canals sealed to prevent the infection from progressing.

At IDC.Clinic, this treatment is performed by experienced dentists using modern technologies, ensuring a conservative, precise and comfortable approach for the patient.

Indications

Who is Endodontics for?

Endodontics is indicated for people who present symptoms or clinical situations such as:

  •   Persistent or spontaneous toothache.
  •   Extreme sensitivity to heat or cold.
  •   Deep cavities that have reached the nerve.
  •   Fractured or traumatized teeth.
  •   Swelling, abscesses or gum fistulas.
  •   The need for root support before crowns or other restorations.

This treatment makes it possible to preserve the tooth even in cases where the infection has reached deeper tissues, offering an effective alternative to extraction.

Endodontics offers long-term benefits and is one of the most effective ways to preserve the natural tooth and avoid more invasive procedures:

  •   Saves the natural tooth, avoiding unnecessary extractions
  •   Eliminates pain and infection, restoring comfort
  •   Maintains chewing function and balance of the dental arch
  •   Prevents dental displacement and occlusal issues
  •   Allows for long-lasting restorations, such as crowns on treated teeth
  •   Improves gum health by removing chronic infection sites
  •   Maintains a natural aesthetic by preserving the original structure

This procedure is often the last line of defense before permanent tooth loss — which is why timely intervention is essential.

After endodontic treatment, it is essential to follow certain guidelines to ensure healing and long-term success:

  •   Avoid hard foods until the tooth is fully restored.
  •   Take any prescribed medication, if applicable.
  •   Maintain good oral hygiene with appropriate brushing.
  •   Attend follow-up appointments to ensure full recovery.

Following these recommendations helps to consolidate the results and keep the treated tooth functional and stable for many years.

Steps

Step-by-step procedure

Endodontic treatment follows a structured and careful approach to eliminate infection and preserve the natural tooth. At IDC.Clinic, the process is performed with modern instruments and controlled irrigation techniques to ensure efficacy and patient comfort.

  1. Access opening – Under local anesthesia, the dentist accesses the dental pulp to begin the cleaning process.
  2. Canal cleaning and irrigation – Special files and disinfectant solutions are used to remove infected tissue and prepare the canals.
  3. Canal obturation – The cleaned canals are sealed with a biocompatible material that prevents bacterial re-entry.
  4. Final restoration – The cavity is sealed with a composite filling or, when necessary, with a crown to reinforce the structure.

It is rare but possible if the infection has not been completely eliminated. Clinical follow-up helps to prevent or treat such situations.

The infection may spread, cause severe pain, lead to abscesses and result in the permanent loss of the tooth.

With proper care and restoration, a treated tooth can last many years — or even a lifetime.
