Root canal treatment is a gradual procedure to treat existing caries and inflammation in the teeth. Claims incurred in the inner part of the tooth, It can be seen due to gingival diseases, faulty fillings in the teeth, dental traumas and inadequate oral hygiene. If the damage to the tooth progresses, the infection reaches the tissues and dental nerves. Bacteria that gradually multiply in the inner tissue of the tooth (pulp) lead to dental abscess, tooth and bone loss. In this procedure, which aims to save the tooth instead of pulling out the unhealthy tooth, tissue-friendly materials are placed in place of the damaged tooth nerves. The biggest advantage of root canal treatment is to save the dead tooth before the patient’s quality of life decreases further and to prevent the deterioration of the bone structure of the teeth.

Root canal treatment consists of 4 stages as the elimination of infection, shaping of the dental canals, filling and making the tooth functional. First of all, the damage to the tooth is detected after the necessary examination is performed and an X-ray is taken. Since it is started with local anesthesia, the treatment is painless and painless. By carefully removing the pulp from the tooth, the area is reshaped and disinfected. Then the cleaned area is filled with a tissue-friendly permanent material. Treatment takes an average of 45 minutes and is usually progressive. For this reason, it is natural that it takes several sessions.

However, root canal treatment isn’t applied in all cases. In cases where the filling for an unhealthy tooth is insufficient, if there is a painful and achy condition and inflammation is present, root canal treatment can be performed.
