WHAT IS ROOT CANAL TREATMENT?
Root canal treatment is a procedure to save a tooth when its nerve and blood vessels lose vitality due to deep caries, fractures, trauma, faulty treatments, or improper restorations. At Eray Şahinsev Dental Clinic, we clean and disinfect the tooth’s root canals, removing damaged nerves and tissues, then fill them with specialized materials to restore function. This treatment is recommended for:
Deep caries reaching the pulp chamber
Fractures involving the tooth’s nerve
Tooth necrosis due to orthodontic treatment
Advanced gum disease
Sensitivity from severe tooth abrasion
Trauma from high fillings or crowns causing pulp damage
HOW IS IT APPLIED?
Diagnosis and Preparation: Your dentist takes an X-ray to assess the extent of caries or trauma and determine if root canal treatment is needed. Local anesthesia is applied to ensure a pain-free experience.
Treatment Process: The decayed or fractured area is removed to access the pulp chamber. The root canals are carefully cleaned, shaped, and disinfected. Depending on the tooth’s condition, the treatment may be completed in one or multiple sessions. During the process, medicated dressings are used to promote healing of the root and surrounding tissues. In the final step, the canals are filled with permanent materials up to the root apex.
ADVANTAGES OF ROOT CANAL TREATMENT
Tooth Preservation: Saves a damaged tooth, allowing it to function for years.
Infection Prevention: Eliminates the risk of recurring infections, ensuring long-term oral health.
Pain Relief: Prevents further infections, relieving pain and discomfort.
Esthetic Protection: Preserves the natural tooth, maintaining your smile’s esthetics.
AFTER YOUR ROOT CANAL TREATMENT
Initial Care: Avoid eating or drinking until the anesthesia wears off (typically within an hour) to prevent damage to the filling or inflammation.
Temperature Sensitivity: Refrain from very hot or cold foods and drinks for the first day.
Follow Instructions: Adhere to your dentist’s guidance, maintain oral hygiene with brushing and flossing, and take prescribed medications to ensure a smooth recovery.
