Endodontics

Endodontics – comprehensive root canal treatment

Our dental clinic provides comprehensive endodontics in Riga at affordable prices, with the possibility of visiting a doctor without delay. This refers to the treatment of pulpitis and periodontitis — complications that accompany deep caries.

The development of pulpitis and periodontitis is inevitable when a patient postpones a visit to a dentist in Riga, resulting in damage to the soft tissues of the tooth — the pulp — and the upper part of the root — the periodontium. In this case, root canal treatment will be required, which may take several sessions using modern materials and equipment. Our dentistry in Riga performs dental treatment based on X-ray examinations.

Root canal treatment

Deep caries is a progressive pathology during which the enamel and dentin are damaged. Against the background of mineral deficiency, dentin — the thin layer between the carious cavity and the pulp — becomes exposed to the intensive reproduction of pathogenic microorganisms that enter the pulp from the source of inflammation.

When diagnosing color changes and dentin infection during the initial examination, where the dentin turns into porous damaged tissue filling the carious cavity, dentists in Riga use endodontics — a specific therapy that makes it possible to save even a deeply damaged tooth.

It should be remembered that deep caries can also develop under an existing filling. Such cases are common when ineffective dental materials are used for tooth restoration, allowing pathogenic bacteria to enter the tooth cavity through gaps between the filling and hard tissues.

Dental treatment and root canal treatment at Laurus Dent Plus provide a long-lasting effect. With proper hygiene measures, comprehensive therapy at our dental clinic reduces the risk of recurrent carious lesions to zero.
