Endodontics in Valencia
What are cavities and endodontics?
Cavities and endodontics are closely linked, and here we will see why. The former is one of the most common chronic diseases in humans, involving an interaction between the teeth, saliva, oral microbiota, and the individual’s intrinsic factors.
A cavity is an infection where certain types of bacteria accumulate on the tooth enamel. These bacteria produce acids that disintegrate the surface and break down the tooth. If left untreated, the decay continues to progress toward the inner parts of the tooth, reaching the pulp.
This is where endodontics—also known as root canal treatment—comes in. It is a very common procedure, given the frequency of cavities, designed to save the tooth from permanent extraction.

How do we perform endodontics in Valencia at our clinic?
Endodontic treatment is performed when the nerve and blood vessels inside the tooth are infected by decay. We meticulously clean the root canals and then apply disinfecting solutions.
Once the dentist is certain that all traces of decay have been completely removed, the cavity is filled with a specialized material.
In more detail, the process begins by creating a small access point in the tooth to reach and remove the infected pulp. This area is cleaned, enlarged, and the root canals are shaped to be subsequently filled.
In some cases, this treatment is carried out over several sessions, allowing the dentist to restore the opening with a temporary filling or crown.
In the following session, the temporary restoration is removed, and the tooth’s pulp chamber and canals are permanently filled. This is done using a material called gutta-percha and dental cement. The final step is to place a permanent crown over the tooth to restore its natural shape and function.

When is a root canal treatment necessary?
The decision to undergo endodontic treatment is made by the dentist; however, it is the ideal option before deciding to extract a tooth. It is performed in cases of deep cavities that lead to inflammation and necrosis of the dental nerve or pulp.
Tooth abrasion, erosion, and wear caused by friction—such as bruxism—can also lead to the need for a root canal. If you are looking for endodontics in Valencia, do not hesitate to consult us.
What are the advantages of endodontics?
The treatment is performed under anesthesia, so the patient feels no pain during the procedure. However, the main advantage is that it prevents tooth extraction. It is a permanent treatment that, with proper oral hygiene, typically presents no major complications in the future. Find out more about endodontics in Valencia at our clinic.
