Root Canal Treatment

Root canal treatment is a dental procedure performed when the pulp tissue inside the tooth becomes inflamed or infected. The pulp contains nerves and blood vessels, which provide vitality to the tooth. However, decay, cracks, or trauma can damage this tissue, necessitating treatment.

During the procedure, the infected or damaged pulp tissue is carefully removed from the root canals of the tooth. The canals are then cleaned, shaped, and sterilized to prevent the spread of infection. In the final stage, the canals are filled with special materials to restore the tooth's structural integrity.

Root canal treatment may require multiple sessions, although it can sometimes be completed in a single visit. After the procedure, a protective crown or filling is placed on the tooth to maintain its functionality and aesthetics.

Root canal treatment is one of the most effective ways to save a tooth without extraction. Thanks to modern techniques and advanced technology, the procedure has become more comfortable for patients. Regular dental check-ups and early intervention significantly enhance the success rate of the treatment.
