Root canal treatment in Beylikdüzü
Cleaning out an inflamed or infected nerve so the tooth can be kept.
About root canal treatment
When decay or trauma reaches the pulp, the nerve tissue can become inflamed. In root canal treatment this tissue is removed, the canals are shaped and disinfected, and then sealed with a filling material. The aim is to save the tooth rather than extract it.
The procedure is done under local anaesthetic, and most patients feel no significant pain during treatment. Because root-treated teeth can become brittle over time, a crown is often recommended, especially for back teeth.
Who is it for?
- People with lingering sensitivity to hot and cold, or night-time pain
- Those with an abscess or swelling
- Teeth showing inflammation at the root tip on X-ray
How does it work?
- Examination and X-ray
- Local anaesthetic and cleaning the canals
- Filling the canals
- Restoring the tooth with a filling or crown
- Follow-up X-ray
After treatment
- Don't eat until the numbness has worn off.
- Mild tenderness for a few days is possible; call the clinic if there is swelling or the pain gets worse.
- Don't bite on anything hard with the tooth until the permanent filling or crown is in place.
- For back teeth, a crown is often recommended after root canal treatment to prevent fracture.
Results of any surgical or interventional procedure may vary from person to person. You are advised to obtain a detailed opinion from your dentist before any procedure.
FAQ
Common questions about root canal treatment
The right treatment for you can only be decided after an examination. If your question isn't answered here, message us on WhatsApp and our dentists will reply.
Does root canal treatment hurt?
It is done under local anaesthetic, and most patients describe a feeling similar to having a filling. There may be some tenderness for a few days afterwards, which is usually controlled with painkillers.
How many visits does a root canal take?
Many teeth can be finished in a single visit. Severe inflammation, an abscess or a tooth that needs retreatment may take two or more visits.
Couldn't the tooth just be taken out instead?
Extraction is always an option, but the tooth then needs replacing with an implant or bridge, and the neighbouring teeth can drift over time. If a tooth can be saved, root canal treatment is usually recommended. We decide together, weighing the pros and cons.
Can a root-filled tooth hurt again?
Most stay trouble-free for years. If infection remains in the canal, a filling leaks or there is a crack, pain can return; retreatment or root-end surgery is then considered.
What are the signs that a root canal is needed?
Lingering pain after hot or cold, throbbing that wakes you at night, pain on biting, swelling or a fistula on the gum, and darkening of the tooth. Sometimes it is found on an X-ray without any symptoms.
