Root Canal Treatment

Root Canal Treatment

Root canal treatment is a treatment method applied in cases where the pulps located inside the teeth and containing the nerves become inflamed or infected. Damage to the pulp due to tooth decay, trauma or other factors can cause pain and discomfort. Root canal treatment is a procedure performed to save the tooth and allow you to continue using it in a healthy way.

What is Root Canal Treatment?

Root canal treatment involves cleaning, disinfecting the infected or inflamed pulp in the root canals of the tooth and then filling the root canal of the tooth with a special material. This procedure ensures that the tooth remains healthy and prevents the spread of inflammation.

When is it Necessary?

How is it done?

  1. X-ray: X-rays are taken to evaluate the condition of the tooth and root canals before treatment.
  2. Anesthesia: Local anesthesia is applied to prevent pain during treatment.
  3. Opening the Tooth: The upper part of the tooth is opened to provide access to the root canals.
  4. Cleaning the Pulp: Infected or damaged pulp tissue is cleaned and the root canals are disinfected.
  5. Filling the Canal: The cleaned root canals are filled with a special material. This material protects the tooth and reduces the risk of infection.
  6. Closure of the Tooth: After the treatment is completed, the upper part of the tooth is closed and a coating or filling is placed on the tooth so that it can continue its normal functions.
