Relieve Pain, Restore Health & Save Your Natural Tooth
A root canal treatment in Costa Rica is a safe and highly effective procedure designed to preserve a damaged or infected tooth rather than extract it. Each tooth contains soft tissue called the pulp, which houses nerves and blood vessels. When the pulp becomes infected due to deep decay, cracks, or trauma, it can lead to pain, sensitivity, or swelling. Root canal therapy carefully removes the infected pulp, disinfects the inner tooth, and seals it to prevent future infection while restoring full function and comfort.
🩺What Is a Root Canal?
Root canal is a dental procedure used to remove infection, bacteria, and decay from the inside of a tooth. Inside each tooth, there’s soft tissue called the pulp — it contains nerves and blood vessels.
When this pulp becomes infected due to deep decay, cracks, or trauma, it can cause severe pain and swelling. A root canal removes the infected pulp, cleans and disinfects the inner chamber, and seals it with a strong filling material.
This procedure helps:
✅ Relieve pain and sensitivity
✅ Stop infection from spreading
✅ Save your natural tooth instead of extracting it.
At Aesthetic Dental Care, root canals are performed using advanced imaging, rotary systems, and precision tools, ensuring comfort and accuracy.
Types of Root Canal Treatments
✅ Single-Root Tooth (Front Tooth) Treatment
These are usually simpler and quicker because front teeth have only one canal. The goal is to remove infection and restore the tooth’s beauty and function — especially important for visible teeth.
✅ Premolar Root Canal
Premolars can have one or two canals. These teeth help with chewing, so they require precision cleaning to maintain strength and comfort.
✅ Molar Root Canal
Molars are the toughest to treat because they can have three or more canals. Our team uses digital X-rays and rotary instruments to reach every canal safely and thoroughly.
✅ Retreatment Root Canal
If a previous root canal did not heal properly, a retreatment can correct it. We remove the old filling, clean the canal again, and reseal it for long-term success.
✅ Root Canal with Post and Crown
After cleaning, the tooth is often rebuilt with a post and crown to restore full function. This ensures your tooth remains strong, durable, and looks natural.
🩺 Who Is a Good Candidate?
You may need a root canal if you experience:
✅ Sharp or lasting tooth pain when chewing or biting, often signaling nerve damage or infection.
✅ Swelling or tenderness around the gums, which may indicate a deep-rooted infection.
✅ Deep decay or large cavities reaching the nerve, causing severe pain or sensitivity.
✅ Tooth discoloration or darkening caused by infection inside the pulp chamber.
✅ Cracks or trauma exposing the inner pulp, making the tooth sensitive and painful.
✅ Sensitivity to hot or cold that doesn’t fade, showing the nerve is inflamed or infected.
✅ Previous dental injury or infection that never fully healed and continues to cause discomfort.
🩺 Consultation and Preparation
Before getting a root canal in Costa Rica, proper evaluation and preparation are essential.
✅ Examination and Imaging – X-rays or 3D scans are taken to assess the infection’s depth and root structure.
✅ Numbing and Comfort – Local anesthesia keeps the procedure pain-free.
✅ Cleaning and Removal – The infected pulp is gently removed using specialized dental tools.
✅ Disinfection and Sealing – The canal is cleaned, disinfected, and sealed with a biocompatible material.
✅ Restoration – A dental filling or crown is placed to protect and strengthen the treated tooth.
🩺Recovery and Aftercare
Most patients recover quickly and comfortably after a root canal. Mild tenderness or jaw stiffness may occur for a few days, but this goes away soon.
Here are some aftercare tips for smooth healing:
✅ Take prescribed medication for any mild discomfort.
✅ Avoid chewing hard foods until the final restoration (crown) is in place.
✅ Stick to soft foods like soups, smoothies, and mashed vegetables.
✅ Brush twice a day and floss carefully around the treated tooth.
✅ Attend your follow-up visits to ensure healing and crown placement.
✅ Avoid grinding or clenching your teeth — use a nightguard if needed.
With proper care and routine checkups, your treated tooth can last a lifetime.
