Root canal treatments to eliminate infections
At Clínica Odontológica Fernando Sandoval, we perform endodontic treatments (commonly known as root canal therapy) to remove internal tooth infections and preserve the natural tooth. We use state-of-the-art technology and precise techniques that ensure comfortable, effective procedures with a fast recovery.
What is endodontics and when is it needed?
Endodontics is a procedure that consists of removing the dental pulp (the tooth’s internal tissue) when it is damaged or infected, cleaning and sealing the canal to prevent complications.
It is recommended when the patient experiences severe pain, prolonged sensitivity, swelling, or recurrent infections.
