Root Canal Treatment

Root Canal Treatment

Root canal treatment involves the removal of a damaged or non-vital pulp, the living tissue inside a tooth. The pulp may lose its vitality due to various reasons such as tooth decay, tooth crack, or physical impact, which eventually necessitates a root canal treatment. This procedure is carried out by creating a small opening in the tooth, extracting the pulp, shaping the root canals, and filling them with specific materials.

Tooth decay, which can be caused by diverse factors or negligence, inevitably leads to cavities that can reach the pulp tissue and cause damage. This damage makes the root canal treatment essential. At Private Yaşam Hospital, our team of specialist physicians meticulously examines your teeth and performs the necessary treatment procedures.

Delaying the treatment of a tooth that requires root canal treatment may lead to undesirable consequences such as the formation of abscesses and pain.

What are the Stages of Root Canal Treatment?

The first stage of root canal treatment involves creating an entry point into the tooth’s canals. The decay in the root is then carefully cleaned, followed by the removal of the damaged pulp. Afterward, the root canals are thoroughly cleaned and the void left behind by the removed pulp is filled with suitable materials. Teeth that have lost material due to extensive decay are additionally filled with a substance called a post.

Proper oral hygiene, routine dental check-ups, and regular dental care can prolong the lifespan of a tooth that has undergone root canal treatment, often lasting many years or even a lifetime.
