What is Root Canal Treatment?
Root canal treatment (endodontic treatment) is a dental procedure that treats infection at the center of a tooth. The treatment involves removing the damaged area of the tooth (the pulp), cleaning and disinfecting it, then filling and sealing it.
The procedure is necessary when the pulp, which contains nerves and blood vessels, becomes infected due to deep decay, repeated dental procedures, cracks, or trauma. If left untreated, the infection can cause severe pain, abscess, and eventually tooth loss.

The Root Canal Process
Examination
Thorough examination including X-rays to assess the extent of damage and plan the treatment.
Anesthesia & Access
Local anesthesia is administered for your comfort, and a small access opening is created in the tooth.
Cleaning & Shaping
Removal of infected pulp and thorough cleaning of the root canals using specialized instruments.
Filling & Sealing
The cleaned canals are filled with a biocompatible material called gutta-percha and sealed to prevent reinfection.
Restoration
Placement of a crown or other restoration to protect the tooth and restore its function.

Root Canal Myths vs. Facts
Root canal treatment gives you the opportunity to keep and save your own tooth. However, for many people, when they hear the word, they immediately mistakenly think of a painful and straining treatment. Let's debunk these common misconceptions.
Myth
"Root canal treatment is extremely painful."
Fact
Thanks to local anesthesia, the treatment is painless. Modern techniques make root canal treatment no more uncomfortable than getting a filling. In fact, it relieves the pain of an infected tooth.
Myth
"It's better to extract the tooth than have a root canal."
Fact
Saving your natural tooth is always the best option when possible. Root canal treatment has a high success rate and can preserve your tooth for a lifetime.
Myth
"One treatment is enough."
Fact
Root canal treatment typically consists of 2-3 sessions on average. The pain disappears after the first treatment, but completing all sessions is essential for permanent tooth preservation.
Aftercare & Long-term Success
Post-Treatment Care
A painless root-treated tooth can last a lifetime with proper oral care and regular dental check-ups. It is worth noting that, despite this, the tooth can become discolored or easily brittle over time due to the lack of pulp.
At our dental clinic, with the help of modern CAD/CAM technology, we can create an inlay/onlay or crown replacement for the remaining tooth root, which can easily remedy these problems.
