Root Canal Treatment

WHAT IS CANAL TREATMENT?

Tooth decay, trauma, or cracks can cause dental nerves to die. In this case, your tooth can usually be saved with root canal treatment. Severe pain, swelling, sensitivity to heat or cold, or a darkening tooth are all signs that a root canal problem exists. The purpose of root canal treatment is to eliminate toothache. Root canal treatment is a toothache treatment that includes cleaning the tooth and removing the infection that causes the pain.

Tooth decay, trauma or cracks can cause the nerves of the teeth to die. When this happens, your tooth can usually be saved with root canal treatment. Severe pain, swelling, sensitivity to heat or cold, or darkening of the tooth are signs that there is a root canal problem. The purpose of root canal treatment is to relieve toothache.

Root Canal Treatment is a toothache treatment that includes cleaning the tooth and removing the infection causing the pain. The cleaned tooth is then protected from further infection by treating it with a solution and placing fillings. Parladent Private Oral and Dental Health Polyclinic offers very cost-effective, painless root canal treatment in Kayseri.

The root canal is actually a hollow space inside the tooth. Bacteria living in the mouth or bacteria from the foods we eat are gradually carried into this cavity. From there, they pass through the "channel" to the nerves, tissues and base of the tooth. When the amount of bacteria affecting the nerves exceeds your tolerance level, your tooth begins to ache. This is when you need a root canal procedure.

During a root canal procedure, the dentist will remove infected blood veins, tissues, and nerves from the tooth, irrigate the cavity to get rid of contamination, and then fill in the pulp of the tooth. The tooth is then shaped so that a crown can be placed on it. As a result, the tooth is strengthened and looks natural.

WHO IS NOT SUITABLE FOR CANAL TREATMENT?

A person is not suitable for root canal treatment if they suffer from:

1. Hypertension
2. Diabetes
3. Infections or fever
4. Osteoporosis (condition in which bones are brittle and weak)
5. Autoimmune Diseases

   HOW IS ROOT CANAL TREATMENT DONE?

First, the dentist will give you a local anesthetic, which means an injection near the decayed tooth. Other than this little bump, you won't feel too much pain throughout the procedure. He then proceeds to puncture the top of the infected tooth to expose what is referred to as the "pulp" of the tooth. The pulp is a group of tissues, nerves, arteries and veins that connect your tooth to your jawbone. This is the part that bacteria eat and damage, causing a toothache.

Now the local dentist uses small "files" to break up and remove the infected part of the pulp. It will also clear the tiny pathways or "channels" that run from your teeth to your bone. It then sprays/places the drug into the cavity to kill any remaining microbes and prevent further microbial infection. Finally, the cleaned area is temporarily filled with a soft material.

In subsequent sittings, the cavity is filled with "fillings" and a permanent crown is then adhered to the treated tooth. This crown can be made of porcelain or metal according to your preference.

HOW LONG DOES CANAL TREATMENT TAKE?

Root canal treatment can sometimes be done in one session, and sometimes in two sessions. This is due to the decay of the tooth. In addition, it can be seen that the root canal treatment is rarely completed in three sessions. A person must be an endodontist or dentist in order to perform root canal treatment. Endodontists are also a type of dentist. In addition to dentistry, they have expertise in the pulp layer of the tooth and the dental nerve. The first step in root canal treatment is x-rays to see how the root canals are. Thanks to this x-ray, if there is any bone infection around the decayed tooth, this can be detected.

After this procedure is completed, local anesthesia is performed by the specialist doctor. Thanks to local anesthesia, the patient does not feel any pain as the tooth and the nerves around it are numbed. After the tooth and its surroundings are numbed, a waterproof material is placed on the area around the tooth by the doctor. The purpose of this is to prevent the tooth and its surroundings from getting wet. Then, the infection is reached in the tooth and treated.

THINGS TO CONSIDER AFTER CANAL TREATMENT

1. If the root canal treatment has prolapsed in the second or third session for any reason, the tooth to be treated should use the treated tooth less frequently until the end of the treatment.
2. Even if the root canal treatment is completely finished, nothing should be eaten or drunk for at least a few hours.
3. Until 3 to 4 days after the root canal treatment of your tooth, you should definitely avoid hot and cold foods and drinks compared to normal.
4. After the treatment, teeth should be brushed regularly every day. 
5. If root canal treatment was performed on a person who brushes regularly, the person should continue with the same routine.

CANAL TREATMENT PRICES 2022

Root canal treatment prices vary according to the tooth and the severity of dental caries. The location of the tooth, the number of sessions in the dental clinic and the technology used to perform the root canal treatment are also important factors. Laser-assisted root canal treatments cost you more but provide more comfort. The results of root canal treatment are considered permanent when performed in a prestigious dental clinic and experienced endodontists.
