Endodontics (Root Canal Treatment)
Endodontics, or root canal treatment, is one of the most effective solutions for keeping teeth that need to be extracted. When performed correctly, it helps teeth remain healthy and functional for many years. Contact us today for detailed information about endodontic treatment and to learn about a personalized treatment plan.
What is Endodontics?
Endodontics is the branch of dentistry that deals with the treatment of the nerve and vascular tissue (pulp) located inside the tooth. This method, commonly known as "root canal treatment," allows a tooth damaged by decay, trauma, or other causes to remain in the mouth without being extracted. Today, thanks to advanced devices, digital imaging systems, and local anesthesia, root canal treatment can be performed comfortably, safely, and quickly.
In Which Situations Is Root Canal Treatment Required?
Root canal treatment is performed when the living tissue of a tooth becomes infected or dead. In such cases, patients typically visit a dentist with complaints such as severe pain, sensitivity to hot and cold, tooth discoloration, or an abscess. If left untreated, the infection can spread from the tooth root to the jawbone, leading to more serious health problems.
Main situations requiring root canal treatment:
Advanced caries
Trauma or fractures to the tooth
Infections developing under old fillings
Loss of vitality of the tooth
How is the treatment administered?
Root canal treatment involves several stages. First, the inflamed or damaged nerve tissue inside the tooth is removed. Then, the root canals are shaped and disinfected using specialized instruments. Finally, the canals are filled with biocompatible filling materials, restoring the tooth's function. Treatment can be completed in a single visit or over several sessions, if necessary.
Advantages of Root Canal Treatment
Natural teeth are preserved in the mouth
Chewing function is restored
No aesthetic loss
It is more economical than alternative treatments
Maintains dental health in the long term
What Should You Pay Attention to After Root Canal Treatment?
Mild sensitivity after treatment is normal and usually subsides quickly. A suitable filling or crown is crucial for long-term health. Regular brushing, flossing, and routine checkups will help maintain oral health after root canal treatment.
