What is endodontics? Caries toothache

ENDODONTICS is the specialty of dentistry that eliminates the nerve inside the tooth in order to save it from extraction; this treatment eliminates pain and infections.

With today's anesthetics it does not hurt at all.

The price of Endodontics varies depending on the tooth to be treated since some are easily accessible and have only 1 nerve, while molars usually have up to 4 nerves and are difficult to access (between 150 € and 310 €).

When you have a cavity, it is advisable to fill it as soon as possible to make it as small as possible; the smaller the filling, the longer the filling and the tooth will last, and the less it will cost. If we wait too long, we may need an Endodontics prior to the filling.

When a tooth hurts, it is the dentist who can determine what is wrong (diagnosis) and decide the best treatment needed. Putting off going to the dentist can only make things worse.

Caries is a very frequent disease among the population that consists of bacteria that destroy the tooth or molar as if they were termites inside the wood.

Caries can be prevented by performing proper oral hygiene every day (brushing 3 times a day), not snacking on sweets or other starchy foods between meals and applying fluoride on the teeth to strengthen them, and for children and adults who are very prone to caries there are tooth strengthening treatments available at the dental clinic.
