Root Canal Treatment Turkey
Cracks and fractures in the teeth, caries in the teeth, wrong treatment processes and restorations can cause the nerves and veins in the tooth to lose their vitality. In this case, cleaning and disinfecting the sick nerves in the canals of the tooth and filling the roots with canal filling materials is called root canal treatment.
Stages of Root Canal Treatment;
-
First of all, the tooth is anesthetized for a painless treatment.
-
Then the tooth decay is cleaned, the pulp of the tooth is reached, and the diseased nerve and tissue residues are cleaned.
-
Between sessions, the tooth is covered with temporary filling materials until the tooth heals. After the tooth has healed, the canal is filled with a special filling material up to the root tip. Upon completion of the treatment, the tooth is renewed with a filling or veneer, depending on the loss of substance in the tooth.
-
In some cases, these sessions are not needed at all, and it is possible to finish the root canal treatment in a single session.
Antibiotic use in dental infections
Under normal conditions, there is no need to use antibiotics during root canal treatment. However, in the presence of advanced infection or hypersensitivity in the tooth, antibiotics can be given.
How long is the life of a tooth treated with root canal?
A tooth with a good root canal treatment can function in the mouth for a lifetime with proper oral-dental care.
Is root canal treatment painful?
One of the most worried points of those who have root canal treatment is how painful the process will be. Thanks to the local anesthesia applied before the treatment, pain is not felt. The difference from a simple filling is that the treatment process is a little longer. Since the healing of the natural tissues will take a few days after the treatment is finished, there may be pain when pressing on the tooth. In this process, a pain reliever recommended by the dentist can be used. Complaints will disappear in a short time.
