We always mention that our dental clinic is in a walking distance from "La Garena" Train Station (about 8 minutes Walk with Google Maps) Endodontics it is an intervention popularly known as remove or kill the nerve. It is a process by which we remove the pulp of a tooth or a wisdom tooth. The pulp is the central part of the tooth and is comprised of nerves, vessels and supporting tissues.

The objective of the endodontics (or endodontic treatment) It is to remove all those diseased tissue of a tooth, to eliminate the pain caused by pulpitis (inflammation of the pulp) or the danger of an infection in the body.

Once the piece to treat has been numbed, we proceed to perform an access cavity to the pulp chamber and, with specific sterile instruments, we proceed to the extraction of whole tissue housed inside the tooth. After draining the conduit, thoroughly cleaned and disinfected. Subsequently the conduit get perfectly sealed with the use of a thermoplastic material (gutapercha).

With this treatment the permanence of the root of the treated piece extends in the mouth, and this allows to rehabilitate by placing a reinforcement and a sheath intraradicular ceramic in tooth.
