What is root canal treatment in Mexico?

 

Root canal treatment (also called endodontics) is needed when the blood or nerve supply of the tooth (known as the pulp) is infected through decay or injury.

If the pulp becomes infected, the infection may spread through the root canal system of the tooth. This may eventually lead to an abscess. If root canal treatment (RCT) is not carried out, the infection will spread and the tooth may need to be taken out.

 

Is root canal treatment painful?

 

No. A local anaesthetic is used for root canal treatment and it should feel no different to having an ordinary dental filling placed.
