Root canal treatment is a treatment applied when the pulp tissue inside the tooth containing nerves and vessels is infected or damaged. The aim is to clean the infected tissue and save the tooth.
First, the infected pulp tissue is cleaned with special tools. Canals are disinfected and shaped, then filled with biocompatible canal filling materials and finally the upper structure restoration is done. This procedure is done to prevent tooth extraction.
If infected tooth pulp is not cleaned, abscess and inflammation in surrounding tissues may develop. Root canal treatment allows the tooth to continue its natural functions and protects jawbone health. At our practice, we offer comfortable treatments using advanced technologies.
All patients with deep decay, tooth trauma or damaged tooth nerve can benefit from root canal treatment. Early diagnosis and intervention increase the chance of saving the tooth.
Mild sensitivity may occur after treatment but usually returns to normal shortly. In some cases where there is excessive material loss in the tooth, the tooth can be crowned for protective purposes to prolong its life. Strengthening the tooth with protective coating is important for long-term success.
