Qualifications
Dr. Alicia Polanco is the Director of DentiCare in the Dominican Republic. She is a Doctor in Dentistry who earned a Master in Endodontics. Dr. Polanco treats internal tooth pain and severe discoloration caused by trauma or pulpal necrosis – the death of the soft tissue inside a tooth.
Clinical Focus and Endodontic Techniques
Dr. Polanco manages cases where a single tooth has darkened from within. She uses periapical X-rays to assess the health of the tooth root and surrounding bone. The doctor performs root canal therapy to resolve internal infections and address pulpal necrosis. After treating the root, she often applies internal tooth whitening, known as blanqueamiento interno.
This specific method lightens teeth that do not respond to standard surface whitening. Additionally, Dr. Polanco completes these restorations with aesthetic resin updates. These resins match the tooth color to the rest of the smile.
