Endodontics in Merida: Saving Your Natural Tooth in Whiteline
Hello Whiteliners! On this occasion Dr. Eduardo Trujillo writes to you, to tell you about a key treatment in dentistry: endodontics, commonly known as "killing the nerve" (it works out well 🤭).
What is endodontics?
It is a procedure we perform when a tooth is badly damaged by decay, blows (trauma) or infections that end up affecting the nerve tissue, but can still be saved. It consists of:
Remove infected tissue (nerve and blood vessels).
Clean and seal root canals.
Preserve the tooth in your mouth by avoiding its extraction.
Why is it important to keep your teeth?
Each tooth is essential to maintain proper chewing, prevent other teeth from shifting or becoming damaged and prevent future problems such as malocclusions.
When is a root canal needed?
In case of severe pain (dental pain is one of the strongest pains that exist).
If there is infection or dental abscess.
When there is irreversible damage to the nerve due to deep caries or trauma.
Process at Whiteline
Accurate diagnosis: We evaluate with digital radiographs and vitality tests.
Treatment:
It is performed under local anesthesia (painless).
It lasts 1-2 sessions (depending on the complexity).
Rear protection:
The tooth is left more fragile, so it will almost always require:
A post to reinforce it.
A crown or inlay to protect it from fractures.
Key recommendation
Always go to a certified endodontist (root canal specialist). At Whiteline, we guarantee:
Advanced technology for greater precision.
Personalized post-treatment follow-up.
Indications for medications to minimize further discomfort.
Whiteliners, remember: extracting a tooth should be the last option.
If you have persistent pain or tenderness, schedule an appointment with us to evaluate your case. If you are a local Whiteliner, you can do so directly here. If you live out of the country, schedule a free video call to learn about your options.
