Root Canal Treatment

Root canal treatment is a dental treatment method used to save and repair teeth in case of advanced decay or serious infection in people's teeth.

Patients avoid choosing this treatment method because they subconsciously think that they will have a painful and difficult application when Root Canal Treatment is mentioned. This situation causes the loss of the tooth that can be saved in the future and more difficult processes.

Endodontics, which is popularly referred to as Root Canal Treatment, is easily performed in a period of 1 to 2 sessions without feeling pain, aches and pains, thanks to the innovations brought by modern technological applications to the field of health.

The main goal for Specialist Dentists who apply Root Canal Treatment is to eliminate the pain experienced by the patient due to the problem in his tooth and to eliminate this problem without causing advanced tooth loss.

However, if the patient feels severe pain during root canal treatment, this means that infection and inflammation occur in the problem area. In this case, the dentist first prepares the patient for Root Canal Treatment by giving drugs to dry the inflammation.

Root canal treatment is started by anesthetizing the surrounding tissues in the patient's tooth with a problem. During the treatment process, the nerves and pulp in the treated area are removed, and the inside of the tooth is cleaned and filled.

Root canal treatment, which is performed before the problems experienced in the teeth of the person progress, is completed in an average of 1 hour and provides successful results to save the tooth. However, if the person delays coming to the clinic despite suffering from toothache for a long time and causes the problem to grow, the inflammation spreads to the surrounding tissues and causes tooth loss.

Root Canal Treatment is successfully applied to people in need by specialist dentists in dental clinics serving in many different locations within the body of EST Point in Turkey and abroad. While the pain that the person is exposed to is eliminated, possible tooth loss is prevented.

What is Root Canal Treatment
