Root Canal Treatment is the process of removing the 'dental nerve' tissue, known as the 'dental nerve' among the public, in case of damage and inflammation of the tissue feeding the tooth within the tooth root, cleaning it and then filling the root canal.
Root canal treatment is most often performed due to untreated decay. Apart from this, it is necessary in cases where the dental nerve is damaged as a result of trauma or in the presence of advanced gum diseases.
Root canal treatment is a treatment performed by anesthetizing the patient's tooth. Therefore, it is not a painful procedure. There may be a numbing problem in some infected teeth. In this case, the tooth can be anesthetized with the help of different techniques.
In the first few weeks after treatment, there may be slight pain and sensitivity in the tooth, especially during chewing.
Root canal treatment can be done in one or more sessions depending on the condition of the tooth. Uncomplicated treatments can be completed in a single session.
For the restoration of teeth that have undergone root canal treatment, composite filling, ceramic filling or ceramic crown options are available depending on the size of the decayed area.
