What is endodontics?
Endodontics is the dental specialty that treats the dental pulp and root canals to eliminate infections or damage, relieve pain, and preserve the natural tooth.
The treatment involves removing the inflamed or infected pulp, cleaning and disinfecting the root canals, and sealing them to prevent reinfection and maintain the tooth’s function.

Frequently Asked Questions about Endodontics
If you have questions about root canal treatment (endodontics), here we answer the most frequently asked questions. At Smilecraft Dentist Vallarta, we will evaluate your case, explain the process, and give you instructions for proper recovery.
Does root canal treatment hurt?
With local anesthesia, the procedure is usually painless; many patients experience relief from the pain that led to the root canal treatment. After the procedure, there may be mild discomfort that can be managed with painkillers and at-home care.
How long does the treatment take?
The duration varies depending on the complexity and number of canals, but it is usually completed in one or two sessions. In more complex cases, additional visits may be required.
Can a tooth with infection be saved?
In many cases, yes. Root canal treatment removes the infection from inside the tooth, and with proper sealing and restoration, it allows the tooth to be preserved. If the infection is very advanced, the best option will be evaluated.
When do I need a crown after treatment?
After root canal treatment, many teeth become more fragile; a crown is recommended when a significant amount of tooth structure is missing or to protect and strengthen the tooth in the long term. We will evaluate your case to determine the right timing.
