Root canal treatment and retreatment with an endodontist in El Poblado, Medellín.
If you have a severe toothache, sensitivity that won’t go away or an infected tooth, a root canal can relieve the pain and save your natural tooth. At Poblado Dental, we coordinate your treatment with an endodontist, a root canal specialist, so you get the right care from your first visit.
• Severe tooth pain, especially at night
• Lingering sensitivity to hot or cold
• Swollen gums or a small bump near the tooth
• A tooth that has darkened after an injury
• Deep decay or a crack that reaches the nerve
• A previous root canal that is bothering you again (retreatment)
1. Evaluation and X-ray to confirm the diagnosis.
2. Local anesthesia to keep you comfortable.
3. Cleaning and disinfecting the root canals.
4. Sealing the canals and restoring the tooth.
After a root canal, a crown or inlay is often recommended to protect the tooth. With our own dental lab, we can make it quickly.
• Single-root root canal (front teeth)
• Multi-root root canal (molars and premolars)

Does a root canal hurt?
It’s done under local anesthesia, so the procedure is usually comfortable. Mild soreness for a few days is normal.
How many appointments will I need?
Many root canals are completed in one or two visits, depending on the tooth and whether there’s an infection.
Wouldn’t it be easier to pull the tooth?
Keeping your natural tooth is usually the best option when possible. Your dentist will explain the alternatives during your evaluation.
What is a root canal retreatment?
It’s a new treatment for a previous root canal that didn’t heal or became infected again.
