Root canal treatment
Root canal treatment, endodontics word comes from Latin. To understand the endodontic, the anatomical structure of the tooth should be well known. This branch of science deals with various dental diseases that have progressed to the dental pulp. Endodontic treatment is applied to the patient due to significant decay and infection of the tooth. This treatment eliminates all the problems that cause tooth extraction. Endodontics, which is a very important treatment for teeth, is one of the most important treatments.

Those who will have root canal treatment should know some things about the tooth structure. First of all, it should be understood why this treatment is necessary. The tooth has 3 layers. One of them is pulp. The pulp is located in the root canal inside the tooth. The pulp is a soft tissue surrounded by blood vessels and nerves that nourish the tooth. If the tooth was infected and descended to the pulp, the teeth used to be extracted. However, with the developing technology and techniques, the tooth is recovered without tooth extraction. During the endodontic procedure, the inflamed pulp and nerves are removed. Since the infection in the tooth will be eliminated in this treatment, the patient can use the tooth as before. In this case, it will be of great benefit as the tooth is regained.

Root canal treatment eliminates the need for tooth extraction. In this way, the patient can use his tooth. At the same time, the bone around the tooth is not lost.
-
Although the infection in the tooth is eliminated in root canal treatment, it may recur after a while. Therefore, it is very important that the treatment is done by a specialist doctor. For root canal treatment, the mouth should remain open for a couple of hours. This may be potentially difficult for some patients in this situation.
-
In order to decide on root canal treatment, the dentist should clearly see whether the pulp is dead and whether the pulp will recover. Therefore, it is very important to perform the treatment with an experienced dentist.
-
Root canal treatments are thought to be quite painful. However, the pain experienced in root canal treatment is not more than a filling procedure. At the same time, each person’s pain threshold is different from each other. Therefore, the claim that no pain is felt is not true. In some cases, discomfort may be felt during the procedure. In this case, it is not due to the operation, but due to the inflammation of the tooth.
-
Root canal treatment is performed both to relieve pain and to save the tooth. If there is pain before the procedure, this pain may continue for a few days after the procedure. This pain can be controlled with painkillers recommended by the doctor. Most of the patients return to their normal life the day after the operation.
-
If the root canal treatment process is not finished in the first session, it should be avoided to use that tooth until the other sessions. Nothing should be eaten or drunk for one or two hours after the treatment is completed. Likewise, it should not be eaten in something extremely cold or hot. After the treatment, it is very important that the care for oral and dental health is done regularly. Likewise, the dentist performing the operation should be visited regularly.
