How Is Root Canal Treatment Performed? | Endodontics
In deep caries or in teeth that are exposed to trauma and broken, the living tissue of the tooth called pulp (dental nerve) is opened to the oral environment.
In such cases, it is necessary to remove the pulp completely from the roots of the tooth. Otherwise, the pulp becomes inflamed and causes pain.

Is Root Canal Treatment Performed For Every Sore Tooth?
Toothache can be of very different severity. Especially pain that wakes you up at night strengthens the possibility of root canal treatment.
Nevertheless, it is not possible to tell the treatment required for the teeth without a radiographic and clinical examination.
After removing the infected pulp, the tooth roots are cleaned, washed and then filled with root fillings.
This process is called Root Canal Treatment.
The aim of this treatment is to relieve toothache and prevent tooth loss.
As with all teeth, you need to do the necessary cleaning for your root canal treated tooth. Teeth should be brushed twice a day and control sessions should be followed at intervals deemed appropriate by your dentist.

Can Root Canal Treatment be Postponed in Teeth with Pain Relief with Drug Treatment?
Postponed root canal treatments may cause the inflammation in the tooth root to expand beyond treatment and even damage the neighbouring teeth. Especially toothaches that cause abscesses cause swelling in certain parts of the face.
In order to prevent such situations, seeing your dentist before the situation progresses will directly affect the success of the treatment.
How is Root Canal Treatment Performed?
Special equipment is used for root canal treatment performed under local anaesthesia. The root of the tooth is reached, the area is cleaned and covered with a filling or crown. It takes approximately 30 to 60 minutes and if done correctly, no pain is felt during the procedure.
What Should be Considered After Root Canal Treatment?
There may be mild pain and tenderness 2-3 days after the treatment is finished. In such cases, your dentist will prescribe painkillers if necessary. After successful root canal treatment, the health of your tooth is no different from your teeth that do not undergo root canal treatment.
