At Tayfun Civak Dental Clinic, we offer expert Root Canal Treatment Services to address severe tooth decay or damage. Root canal treatment is a highly effective procedure designed to save a tooth that has been infected or severely damaged, allowing you to retain your natural tooth and maintain overall oral health.

What is Root Canal Treatment?

Root canal treatment, also known as endodontic therapy, is a procedure used to treat infections or damage within the pulp of a tooth. The pulp is the soft tissue inside the tooth that contains nerves and blood vessels. When the pulp becomes infected or inflamed due to deep decay, trauma, or other issues, a root canal can help save the tooth by removing the damaged tissue and sealing the tooth to prevent future problems.

The Root Canal Treatment Process

1. Initial Examination: During your visit, our dentist will perform a comprehensive examination of the affected tooth, including X-rays if necessary. This helps to determine the extent of the infection or damage and plan the appropriate treatment.

2. Anesthesia: To ensure your comfort, a local anesthetic will be administered to numb the affected tooth and surrounding area. This ensures that you feel no pain during the procedure.

3. Tooth Access: The dentist will create a small opening in the crown of the tooth to access the pulp chamber and root canals. This allows us to clean and disinfect the inner areas of the tooth.

4. Pulp Removal and Cleaning: The damaged or infected pulp is carefully removed using specialized instruments. The root canals are then cleaned and disinfected to remove any bacteria and debris.

5. Filling and Sealing: After cleaning, the root canals are filled with a biocompatible material called gutta-percha. This material seals the canals and prevents future infections. The opening in the tooth is then sealed with a temporary or permanent filling.

6. Restoration: In many cases, a tooth that has undergone a root canal will require further restoration, such as a crown, to strengthen and protect it. This step ensures that the tooth functions properly and maintains its appearance.

7. Post-Treatment Care: We will provide instructions on how to care for your treated tooth and maintain good oral hygiene. Regular follow-up appointments will be scheduled to monitor the tooth and ensure it remains healthy.

Benefits of Root Canal Treatment

• Relieves Pain: The procedure addresses the source of pain caused by infection or damage, providing relief and restoring comfort.

• Prevents Further Damage: By removing infected tissue and sealing the tooth, root canal treatment prevents the spread of infection and future damage.
