Everything You Need to Know About Root Canal Treatment
What Is Root Canal Treatment?
Root canal treatment is an endodontic procedure that preserves the tooth by cleaning out the infected or damaged nerve tissue (pulp) inside it. At our endodontics clinic in Istanbul, successful root canal treatments are performed using modern, microscope-assisted techniques.
When Is Root Canal Treatment Needed?
- Deep tooth decay
- Severe and long-lasting toothache
- Extreme sensitivity to hot and cold
- Darkening of the tooth's color
- Gum swelling and abscess
- Dental trauma or fracture
How Is Root Canal Treatment Performed?
At our Istanbul clinic, root canal treatment consists of the following stages:
- Diagnosis and X-Ray: The infection is assessed with a digital X-ray
- Local Anesthesia: The procedure is performed completely pain-free
- Pulp Removal: The infected nerve tissue is removed
- Canal Shaping: The root canals are cleaned with special instruments
- Filling: The canals are filled with a special material
- Restoration: The tooth is sealed with a crown or filling
Is Root Canal Treatment Painful?
Thanks to modern anesthesia techniques, no pain is felt during root canal treatment. Mild sensitivity may occur for a few days after the procedure, which is completely normal. Patient comfort is kept at the highest level at our clinic in Istanbul.
