Root canal treatment is a treatment method used to repair infected or decayed teeth or teeth that have been traumatized for various reasons. During root canal treatment, the pulp and dental nerve in the hard tissue of the tooth are removed, the inside of the tooth is cleaned, then the opened space is filled with various biomaterials.
The purpose of root canal treatment is to prevent tooth loss, relieve toothache, prevent tooth extraction and keep the tooth active in the jawbone by performing its normal functions.
Root canal treatments that are postponed and delayed in intervention can lead to unavoidable and bigger problems in the future.
Infections that cause problems such as toothache and abscess are mostly caused by delayed dental problems.
Root canal treatment is usually applied to teeth with cavities or deep fractures. However, in some cases that develop due to trauma, root canal treatment can also be applied to the teeth. After your doctor determines the condition of your tooth, he will give you the clearest information about how many sessions the root canal treatment will take. Generally, unless there is an additional condition, root canal treatment is continued for 1 or 2 sessions, varying between 30-60 minutes.
