Root canal in Candelaria, Tenerife
Duration: 1 - 2 sessions of 60 - 90 minutes. Recovery: 1 - 3 days of slight discomfort. Endodontics (root canal treatment) saves a tooth when the nerve is inflamed or infected. We clean and seal the inside of the root to relieve the pain and, wherever possible, keep your own tooth instead of extracting it. First consultation free.
Who is this treatment for?
For you if you have strong or throbbing pain, pain when biting, sensitivity to cold or heat that does not go away, an abscess, or a tooth that has darkened.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does a root canal hurt?
It should not hurt: it is done under local anaesthetic and usually takes away the pain you had. In the following days you may notice slight discomfort when biting.
How many sessions are needed?
Normally one or two, depending on the tooth and the infection.
Do I need a crown afterwards?
Often yes, especially on molars, because a tooth that has had a root canal is more fragile. We tell you in the quote.
I am in a lot of pain, can you see me today?
Yes. A dental emergency gets a same-day appointment within the clinic's opening hours. Call +34 822 775 133 or message us on WhatsApp at +34 674 354 930 and say it is an emergency. If you also have a fever, marked facial swelling, or difficulty swallowing or breathing, go to a hospital emergency department or call 112 straight away.
How much does it cost?
It depends on the tooth and the number of canals. Your first visit is free and includes a panoramic X-ray, a diagnosis and a no-obligation quote.
