Why does the fear of root canal treatment persist, even with advances in dentistry?
Technology plays a fundamental role in endodontic treatment; we utilize modern equipment, such as the operating microscope, which allows for the visualization of root canal details and enables more precise treatment.
In addition to this technology, we employ mechanized instruments, digital radiography, and apex locators, among other innovations that make the process faster than traditional manual methods, saving time for both the patient and the professional.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Root canal treatment is an essential procedure for saving damaged teeth and avoiding extractions. With Dr. Érica Gonçalves, an endodontics specialist in Fortaleza, you will receive fast, safe, and virtually painless treatment using the latest dental techniques.
What is root canal treatment and why is it necessary?
A root canal is a dental procedure that removes the damaged pulp from a tooth to treat infection and prevent extraction. It is necessary when the dental pulp becomes inflamed or infected due to deep decay, trauma, or a tooth fracture.
Does a root canal hurt?
Thanks to advances in dental technology, root canal treatment is virtually painless today. With the use of local anesthesia and modern techniques, most patients report only slight discomfort, comparable to a simple filling.
How long does a root canal treatment take?
The duration of a root canal treatment can vary depending on the complexity of the case. In most instances, the procedure can be completed in one or two appointments, with each session lasting approximately 60 to 90 minutes.
What are the signs that I need a root canal treatment?
Some of the signs indicating the need for a root canal treatment include intense toothache, prolonged sensitivity to heat or cold, swelling of the gums around the affected tooth, and tooth discoloration.
What happens if I don't get a root canal?
If left untreated, an infected tooth can worsen, leading to dental abscesses, severe pain, and even tooth loss. Furthermore, untreated infections can spread to other areas of the mouth and affect your overall health.
What is the post-operative period like for root canal treatment?
After the root canal treatment, you may experience mild discomfort for a few days, but the pain should subside quickly. Your dentist may prescribe medication to relieve the discomfort. It is important to avoid chewing with the treated tooth until the permanent restoration is completed.
