Root Canal Treatment

ROOT CANAL TREATMENT – ENDODONTICS



Root canal treatment is a treatment performed by cleaning the tooth root canal to recover infected, unhealthy and damaged teeth.

The cavity in the hard layer of each tooth is called the root canal system. There are nerves and blood vessels in this root canal. Bacteria that leak into this channel can cause infection and the infected tooth causes great pain in the patient.
With root canal treatment, our dentists clean the canals by opening the hard part of the tooth and are treated. If this infected tooth is not treated, it can cause abscesses besides pain and loss of teeth later.

Today, with the new emerging root canal treatments, it can be completed painlessly and quickly within 1 or two visits.

After root canal treatment, you can use your tooth in a healthy way for years.

Factors affecting the life of the treated tooth:

*	The expertise of the edodontologist who applied this treatment
*	The tooth should be covered to prevent bacteria from entering the treated tooth
*	Patients should pay attention to these teeth and refrain from eating hard foods.

If the crown of the tooth is permanently restored after the root canal is cleaned, you can use these teeth for a long time.

		What is included in root treatment?

*	First, XRAY is taken to diagnose by examining the tooth root.
