CONSERVATIVE DENTISTRY IS THE TECHNIQUE BY WHICH THE MOUTH UNDERGOES A TREATMENT THAT PREVENTS THE EXTRACTION OF THE DAMAGED TOOTH.
It is used to restore areas damaged by decay and other conditions. It consists on cleaning and treating the damaged spot without affecting the rest of the tooth, then sealing the treated area with a filling.
Also part of the so-called conservative dentistry is the preventive dentistry. This preventive dentistry reduces the need for dental treatment in a medium to long-term basis by sealing cracks, doing simple or complex fillings and root canal treatments. In cases where the damage has a considerable depth, a filling will not be enough and there is a need to perform a root canal treatment.
Endodontic is the branch of dentistry that deals with the treatment of diseases affecting the pulp tissues of the teeth like deep caries, root infections or fractures. Thanks to the endodontic or root canal treatments we can keep your teeth and its total functionality.
In cases of deep decay or a hit to the teeth, the pain can make us think that the best solution would be to remove the piece, but the cleaning and disinfection of the tissues could prevent this from happening. This procedure is called root canal treatment.
The main purpose of dentistry is to preserve all teeth, as a natural tooth cannot be surpassed by any artificial implant. Despite this, we appear reluctant to visit the dentist.
