Meet the professionals who provide this treatmentIn short
Toothache that won't go away, extreme sensitivity to hot or cold, or a darkening tooth? These are signs the nerve is compromised — and that you need a root canal (devitalization). At Ferreira Borges Dental Clinic we perform every root canal with NiTi rotary instrumentation, an electronic apex locator and ultrasonic irrigation, eliminating infection throughout the canal system — even in hard-to-reach areas. The result: more precise treatment, less discomfort, and a success rate above 95%.
Precision Endodontics
We use state-of-the-art equipment for more precise, comfortable treatments with higher success rates.
Rotary Instrumentation
Motorized NiTi files that adapt to canal curvature, reducing time and discomfort.
Electronic Apex Locator
Precise determination of canal length without relying solely on X-rays.
Ultrasonic Irrigation
Activation of disinfectant solution to eliminate bacteria in hard-to-reach areas.
Caring for Your Tooth After Root Canal
Following these guidelines will help ensure a smooth recovery and long-lasting results from your treatment.
Take Prescribed Medication
Take pain relievers and antibiotics exactly as prescribed. Don't skip doses even if you feel fine.
Eat Soft Foods
Stick to soft foods for 24-48 hours. Avoid chewing on the treated side until the permanent restoration is placed.
Manage Swelling
Apply a cold compress to your cheek for 10-15 minutes at a time to reduce any swelling during the first day.
Avoid Smoking
Smoking delays healing and increases the risk of complications. Avoid for at least 48-72 hours after treatment.
Protect the Tooth
The treated tooth is fragile until the permanent crown is placed. Avoid hard or sticky foods that could damage it.
Complete Your Treatment
Return for your follow-up appointment to place the permanent crown. This protects the tooth and ensures long-term success.
What to Expect
With modern technology and proper anesthesia, root canal treatment is as comfortable as a regular filling.
Step 01
Precise Diagnosis
Digital X-ray and vitality test to confirm treatment need and identify all canals.
Step 02
Effective Anesthesia
We use advanced anesthesia techniques so you shouldn't feel pain during treatment.
Step 03
Cleaning and Shaping
Pulp removal and shaping of canals using NiTi rotary instrumentation, an electronic apex locator and ultrasonic irrigation for maximum precision.
Step 04
Sealing and Restoration
Three-dimensional canal filling and definitive restoration to protect the treated tooth.
Why Is Treatment Important?
An infection in the dental pulp doesn't go away on its own. If left untreated, it can lead to serious complications affecting your overall health.
Dental Abscess
The infection can form an abscess at the tooth root, causing severe pain, facial swelling, and fever.
Tooth Loss
Without treatment, bone destruction around the root can make it impossible to save the tooth.
Systemic Infection
In rare cases, the infection can spread to other parts of the body, becoming a medical emergency.
Bone Deterioration
Chronic infection leads to progressive bone loss around the tooth root, compromising future treatment options.
Chronic Pain & Sleep Loss
Untreated pulp infections cause persistent pain that worsens at night, affecting sleep quality and daily life.
Difficulty Eating
Infected teeth become sensitive to pressure and temperature, making normal chewing painful and limiting nutrition.
