What is a root canal? and When do you need root canal treatment?
When serious decay, trauma, or infection affect the internal structure of the tooth, dentists apply root canal treatment. DentaPoint Dental Clinics offer effective and reliable solutions to its patients with its experienced staff and by applying cutting-edge technology and modern techniques throughout all treatment processes.
What is root canal treatment?
Root canal treatment is the process of removing the infected soft tissue (pulp) and nerve tissue inside the tooth and replacing it with a special filling material. This treatment is applied to prevent tooth loss and maintain the healthy structure of the tooth.
When do you need root canal treatment?
If you have complaints such as pain, discomfort, or sensitivity in the tooth, root canal treatment may be required to relieve this condition. After you arrange a schedule at DentaPoint Dental Clinics, specialized dentists in our clinics evaluate the condition of the internal structure of the tooth and make up the treatment plan tailored to your specific case.
Stages of root canal treatment
Root canal treatment stages are usually completed in several sessions.
- Initially, an x-ray examination of the tooth is performed.
- After detecting the problematic area in the tooth structure, the internal structure of the tooth is cleaned and infected tissues are removed.
- Then, the emptied cavity is filled with a special filling material. This process restores the lost function by supporting the internal structure of the tooth.
- After root canal treatment, problems such as pain and infection in the teeth of the patients are eliminated, while the healthy structure of the tooth is aimed to be preserved. After the treatment, regular post-treatment check-ups and good oral hygiene are important.
