Canal Treatment

In particular, root canal treatment is necessary to prevent deepening of dental caries. Otherwise, tooth loss and serious infections may develop. Removal of the dental nerve in root canal treatment is a necessary procedure to prevent severe pain and infection.

First of all, the patient’s detailed dental examination is performed, and if necessary, x-ray film is requested. The reason for this is the appearance of root canals and detection of infection. In some patients, anesthesia is not considered necessary when performing root canal treatment in cases where the dental nerve has died, but usually the area is numbed for relaxation and minimal pain. After removing bacteria, decayed tissues and pulp through a hole drilled into the root canal, cleaning is performed with the help of root canal files. As the size of the files increases, brushing and scraping is done in different areas within the relevant hole. Complete cleaning and elimination of infection is a necessary condition. If necessary, the physician may suggest to send medication into the canal and wait for a while.

Root canal treatment is an application that is completed in an average of 30 to 90 minutes. However, the application time and the number of sessions; The infection status of the patient varies according to the number of roots in the teeth and the shape of the roots. Especially in cases of extensive decay, different applications can be made to protect the tooth and prevent its loss.
