What Is A Root Canal?

When a tooth becomes infected, it’s usually related to the nerves in the root of your tooth. These infected nerves need to be removed. Left untreated, an infection can turn into an abscess, which is a much more serious problem that leads to missing teeth and bone loss in your jaw.

SYMPTOMS AND SIGNIFICANCE OF A ROOT CANAL

-Spontaneous pain even when you’re not eating or drinking

-Pain that wakes you up in the middle of the night

-Toothache that worsens when pressure is applied or when eating

-Darkening or discoloration of a tooth

-Recurring swelling of the gums

-Tenderness in the gums

-Extreme sensitivity to cold or heat

If you have a really bad toothache caused by bacteria deep inside your tooth, root canal therapy is the best way to help you feel better quickly.

How is Root Canal Treatment Performed?

Before proceeding to the root canal treatment stages, the dentist analyses the condition of the tooth, determines the problem, and informs the patient about the treatment to be performed. The first stage of root canal treatment is to numb the area where the treatment will be performed in order for the patient not to feel any pain. Then, the bacteria that form on the inside of the tooth and the nerve tissue there are destroyed. Then it is necessary to clean it of waste and toxins. Starting root canal treatment without this cleaning may cause a reaction caused by inflammation in the body. If there is a filling in the teeth in question, it is removed; if there is caries, they are cleaned, and the tooth is opened from the crown section to reach the section where the nerves are.

After these procedures, the nerve and vascular tissues in the root canal are cleaned with fine tools. During this procedure, it is ensured that the inside of the tooth root is kept clean with disinfectants. Jul. In order for the tooth and surrounding tissues not to become infected, the damaged pulp structure must be removed. There is a high probability of losing the tooth if it is not removed.

The cavity and canal formed in the pulp tissue are permanently filled. A rubber-like material with a tapered tip is inserted into each of the channels and glued into place, most often using an adhesive. In some cases, a metal or plastic rod can be placed inside the channel for structural support.

Finally, the tooth is covered with a crown to restore its natural appearance. If there is a fracture in the tooth, the tooth must be repaired with a post-application procedure before this procedure is performed.
