Root Canal Treatment

Root Canal Treatment

If tooth decay is not treated in time, the decay progresses to the inner surface of the tooth and causes inflammation of the nerves in the tooth. If the tooth is not intervened in this case, the infection inside the tooth can come out of the root tip and infect the jawbone. In both cases, root canal treatment is required to keep the existing tooth in the mouth.
 
WHAT IS ROOT CANAL TREATMENT? HOW MANY SESSIONS IS IT COMPLETED?
 
It is the shaping of the root canals of the existing tooth with the help of special files, cleaning them with special solutions and sealing them with special materials for the treatment of infection in the tooth or in the jawbone caused by the tooth. The number of sessions in which the root canal treatment will be completed can be in one or several sessions depending on the state of infection in the root canals of the existing tooth. As a result of root canal treatments performed under appropriate conditions in accordance with the rules, the existing tooth can remain in the mouth for many years.
 
WILL I FEEL PAIN DURING ROOT CANAL TREATMENT?
Except in very special cases, pain is not felt during root canal treatment with appropriate anesthesia.
 
IS THERE AN ALTERNATIVE TO ROOT CANAL TREATMENT?
 
The only alternative to root canal treatment is to extract the relevant tooth and replace it with an implant. It is a known fact that the best implant is the patient's own tooth. Therefore, if the existing tooth can be restored, root canal treatment is the most appropriate treatment option today.
