What is a root canal procedure?

Root canal procedures, or endodontics, is a treatment for the inner pulp of the tooth. They are performed to save teeth from extraction. The dentist or endodontist, a root canal specialist, cleans out the decayed or damaged pulp without breaking the exterior of the tooth root. The cleaned root canal is filled with a bio-compatible rubber-like material called gutta-percha. They are also performed for patients with damaged teeth caused by accidents or fractures. The procedure takes one to two hours to complete.

What are the types of root canal procedures?

Primary root canal treatments are performed using stainless steel files. Stainless steel files could remove only a small amount of infection and could easily break. The more advanced and flexible nickel titanium files do not break easily and are able to clean the entire infected area easily. Rotary instruments used to clean the root canal are quicker than manual instruments. Other advanced root canal procedures make use of ultrasound or laser to effectively clean the root canal.

Is a root canal procedure painful?

Root canal procedures are performed under local anaesthetic. Patients will not feel pain during the procedure.

What is the recovery time after having a root canal procedures?

Patients take about three days to recover after a root canal procedure. Some patients require a week to recover from a root canal procedure.

When can I travel by air after a root canal procedure?

It is safe to travel by air one day after a root canal procedure. Patients should check with their dentist before embarking on their journey. If they feel pain or discomfort, they should postpone their journey until it abates.

What care is required after a root canal procedure?

Patients should take all prescribed medications correctly. They should not eat until the anaesthetic wears off. They should not eat or drink very hot or very cold food for at least a week. They should avoid eating hard food or sticky food. If swelling occurs they should sleep with their head raised for a few days to bring it down.

What are the alternatives to root canal procedures?

Alternatives to root canal procedures include extractions and pulp capping procedures.

The clinic is always impeccably clean and well organisedGenevieve, Brisbane, 24 05 18

My first treatment with Dr Diego Rosales concerning ongoing dental concerns as described in other later reviews ( as the full treatment has been a continuing process for 10 days.) was on the 15th. I had a lot of work to be done! He talked about all options and immediately made me feel comfortable, confident and at ease. His knowledge and expertise are incredible. He speaks fluent English with ease which had been a problem a few years ago when I tried to have dental work in Mexico. I have had nearly daily appointments with Dr Diego Rosales since and I am constantly astonished at his technical skills, his concern and professional care for patients and continued amazing work. The clinic is always impeccably clean and well organised.

Though I have not yet received treatment, I wish to convey my appreciation to Dr Antillon for his quick and accommodating service. All aspects of my upcoming trip were well serviced including airport pick-up and living accommodations. I have been well informed throughout the process with phone calls and e-mail updates. I am really looking forward to visiting his facility and, of course, beautiful Guatemala.

His staff was very professional and helpful throughout the whole processCesar, US, 30 08 23

I was in a bicycle accident last year and cracked a tooth and chipped another. I went to my dentist here in Houston, Texas to get checked out. My dentist informed me that I would need to have some dental work to get my teeth fixed. Even with dental insurance, I would still need to pay over 5K for a crown and a dental implant. I had traveled to Guatemala in the past for tourism and was quite fond of the country and people. I looked for dentist in Guatemala City and found Dental City. I looked at their reviews and contacted the office to inquire about their work and treatments. I spoke with Dr. Argueta a couple of times and he was able to answer my questions and I felt he was very honest and genuine. He made me feel comfortable and I was confident in his work. I decided to get my dental work done with Dr. Argueta and couldn’t be happier that I did. I ended up getting a crown and an implant done at Dental City. His staff was very professional and helpful throughout the whole process. I have gone to my dentist for regular check-ups and they mentioned that the crown and implant are healthy and look very well. I believe that the quality of work is as good if not even better than I would have received in the United States. I I’ll definitely return to Guatemala if I need any major dental work or dental cosmetic work. I highly recommend Dr. Argueta and Dental City and have referred some customers to him as well.
