When a patient comes to the consultation with the reason for pain that is accentuated with thermal changes – cold, heat – or with sweets, the first suspicion is that a tooth or molar has extensive caries.<\/p>\n
This decay has advanced inside the piece until it reaches its innermost part, the dental pulp.<\/p>\n
At this time, the indicated treatment is endodontics, or what is commonly known as “killing the nerve.”<\/p>\n
Endodontics is performed under local anesthesia and absolute isolation in one or two clinical sessions.<\/p>\n
It consists of eliminating all the bacteria that have invaded the pulp and sealing it completely.<\/p>\n
Once completed, the treated tooth must be reconstructed.<\/p>\n
To prevent cavities from affecting the dental pulp, it is important to have regular check-ups with specific x-rays. This way, cavities can be diagnosed in a less advanced state and treated conventionally.<\/p>\n
The alternative to endodontics is the extraction of the piece (the most common cause of tooth loss in elderly patients).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":3257,"template":"","categoria":[80],"class_list":["post-3254","actualitat","type-actualitat","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","categoria-casos-dexit"],"meta_box":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/clinicacervera.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/actualitat\/3254","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/clinicacervera.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/actualitat"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/clinicacervera.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/actualitat"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/clinicacervera.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/clinicacervera.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3257"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/clinicacervera.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3254"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"categoria","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/clinicacervera.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categoria?post=3254"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
