Root canal treatment is performed when the pulp the bundle of blood vessels and nerves located in the innermost part of the tooth that sustains the tooth\u2019s vitality and provides it with nourishment is damaged, has reached a point where it cannot be restored, has lost its vitality (necrosis), or is causing an infection.<\/p>\n\n
Root canal treatment is used for pain, severe sensitivity to hot and cold, dental abscesses, and the treatment of teeth that have been damaged or discolored as a result of an accident.<\/p>\n\n
Root canal treatment is the process of removing inflamed or dead dental pulp from the root canals, cleaning, shaping, and disinfecting the canals, and filling them with biocompatible root canal filling materials. <\/p>\n\n
If root canal treatment is delayed, damage to the bone supporting the tooth at and around the root tip may occur in the long term. This can lead to problems ranging from the need for surgical intervention to tooth extraction. <\/p>\n\n
In some cases, even after root canal treatment, pain, swelling in the area, a fistula, or discomfort in the tooth particularly during chewing may persist. Furthermore, even if the patient has no complaints, the success of a previous root canal treatment may be in question. In such cases, a repeat root canal treatment is necessary. <\/p>\n\n
Thanks to modern anesthesia techniques, the root canal treatment process is pain-free and comfortable. The number of sessions may vary depending on the patient\u2019s overall health or the extent of the infection in the tooth. Following root canal treatment, patients may experience mild sensitivity or pain while chewing. This is considered a normal, temporary discomfort. <\/p>\n\n
In some cases requiring root canal treatment, symptoms can be alleviated with a course of antibiotics. However, this does not lead to a cure but merely temporarily suppresses the problem, making it less noticeable. In such cases, recovery is not possible without proper root canal treatment. Putting off the problem by taking antibiotics continuously will, after a while, make it more severe and untreatable. <\/p>\n\n
