Endodontics

The tooth may die or become inflamed due to bacteria reaching the dental pulp due to a fracture caused by a major caries or trauma. In such a case, chewing, pressure or hot-cold may cause extreme sensitivity and pain. In addition, pain may occur without being connected to any factor, and it causes pain at night and does not respond to painkillers. In such cases, the tooth cannot heal itself, and the medications, especially antibiotics, that you will take without your doctor’s knowledge can only temporarily delay your pain. When the problem grows, the infection may spread to the lower tissues and cause swelling on your face as an abscess, making treatment more difficult and the tooth may need to be extracted. In this case, the only solution is to clean the pulp of the tooth and remove the nerves that cause pain. Although extraction is a cheaper treatment method, the loss of a healthy tooth creates a gap that is difficult to fill. Making a bridge, prosthesis or implant in order to close this gap brings a more expensive and difficult treatment. If you have the opportunity to choose, it will always be to your advantage not to lose your tooth.

With the new treatment systems (digital imaging) and methods (round canal shaping) used today, unlike previous years, no pain occurs during root canal treatment. Root canal treatment can be completed in a single session, or it may take several sessions depending on the condition of the tooth.

The tooth, which is restored after root canal treatment, can be used in a healthy way for many years as long as the hygiene rules are followed.

Root canal treatment can be done with laser.
