What Exactly Is Root Canal Treatment?

Root canal treatment is a form of treatment that should be applied because the living tissue (pulp) in the teeth is irreversibly damaged due to caries, trauma, gingival disorders. In most cases, root canal treatment is the last treatment to be applied, except for tooth extraction.

Root canal treatment is thought to be a very painful and long-term procedure, as the patients who need root canal treatment often apply to dentists with the complaint of toothache. Most of the time, root canal treatment is completed in a single session. Since the tooth is anesthetized by anesthesia, there is no pain during the treatment.

After the examination and radiographic analysis of the patient, the diagnosis of root canal treatment is made. Antibiotic use can be started if necessary during the examination, but it is not necessary to use antibiotics for every root canal treatment, so treatment can be started immediately also.

In the beginning of a root canal treatment that needs to be performed, first the patient is anesthetized and the caries is cleaned. If there is no loss of substance in the tooth, a suitable space is prepared in the tooth in order to reach the root canals of the teeth and root canal treatment is started. After these procedures, the cavity created is filled with suitable materials, and the root canal treatment is completed.

What is root canal treatment for?

When the living parts inside the teeth are damaged for any reason, their healing ability is very limited. When they cannot heal, they cause severe pain in the short term, and infection and damage to the surrounding tissues in the long term. For these reasons, root canal treatment is performed to clean the harmed tissues and heal the damage that is caused.
