Root Canal Treatment

Pulp is removed through the canals, canals are reshaped, and canal filling is done when the pulp (tooth nerve fibres and vessels) is affected irreversibly because of untreated decay, trauma etc. or when the pulp comes out for some reason.

Frequently Asked Questions

Healthy root canal-treated teeth, when restored with treatments that do not allow microleakage, can function for many years just like untreated teeth. They also feel the same during chewing. The only difference is that they do not sense hot and cold.

During root canal treatment, the nerves inside the tooth are removed and the emptied space is filled with root canal filling material. However, the connection between the root and the surrounding bone remains alive. You continue to feel even the slightest thing that touches your tooth, just as you do with your natural teeth. The only thing you do not experience is sensitivity to hot and cold. If a root canal-treated tooth develops decay, it does not cause pain and may not show symptoms until it fractures or becomes infected. Therefore, regular dental check-ups are important.

Your natural tooth is always the preferred option whenever it can be saved and provide a more comfortable sense of feeling. If the tooth requiring root canal treatment is very weak and has a high likelihood of fracture, or if it is infected and has an anatomy that prevents a good root canal treatment, then avoiding the risk and extracting the tooth may be an alternative. It is more appropriate to think of implant treatment not as an alternative to a natural tooth, but as an alternative for the treatment of tooth loss.
