Endodontics (Root Canal Treatment)
Treatment
Preserve your natural tooth through treatment of infected or damaged tooth nerves.
About the treatment
Endodontics is the branch of dentistry that treats the nerve and vascular tissue (pulp) inside the tooth root. Root canal treatment involves cleaning the infected or damaged tooth pulp, disinfecting the canals, and filling them. This treatment saves teeth that would otherwise need to be extracted, keeping them in the mouth. With modern endodontic techniques, treatment can usually be completed painlessly in a single session.

Treatment Process
Diagnosis and Imaging
Digital X-ray and 3D tomography if needed to determine the location and extent of infection. Pain testing and clinical examination are performed.
Anesthesia and Isolation
The tooth and surrounding tissues are completely numbed with local anesthesia. A rubber dam isolates the tooth to provide a sterile working environment.
Access to Pulp Chamber
A small opening is created from the top of the tooth to reach the infected pulp.
Canal Cleaning and Shaping
Root canals are cleaned with special rotary instruments, infected tissue is removed, and canals are shaped. Rinsing with disinfectant solutions is performed.
Canal Filling
The cleaned canals are filled leak-proof with biocompatible gutta-percha material.
Restoration
The tooth is restored with a filling or crown to return to normal function. Crowns are generally recommended for back teeth.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is root canal treatment painful?
Thanks to modern anesthesia techniques, root canal treatment is painless. The perception that 'root canals are very painful' is outdated. Today, the procedure is no different from a regular filling.
How many sessions does root canal treatment take?
In most cases, root canal treatment can be completed in a single session (45-90 minutes). Serious infections or complex canal structures may require 2 sessions.
How long will my tooth last after treatment?
Root canal treated and properly restored teeth can last as long as natural teeth. With proper care, they can be used for a lifetime.
Is it better to extract the tooth instead of root canal treatment?
No. Preserving your natural tooth is always the priority. Root canal treatment saves the tooth, eliminating the need for implants or dentures. It is both more economical and healthier.
What should I pay attention to after treatment?
Avoid chewing hard foods on the treated side for the first few days. Do not put excessive pressure on the tooth until the permanent filling or crown is placed. Continue regular brushing and flossing.
