What is root canal treatment?
Root canal is a treatment that is performed for damaged teeth....in fact, when the dental pulp, which consists of nerves and blood vessels, becomes infected, this treatment takes place....during root canal treatment, the pulp is drained and the inside of the tooth is clean and free of infection.
Do you feel severe pain after chewing apple, gum, etc.? Have the color of your teeth darkened?
After drinking hot and cold drinks, does its effect remain on your teeth and do you feel pain?
Your problem is related to the root of the tooth, which can be treated.
What is a root canal?
=============================
The root canal is a part of the tooth that is hollow and contains nerve tissue, blood vessels and other cells, which is also called the pulp.... The tooth consists of a crown and a root.... The crown is mostly above the gum, while the roots are below it.... The roots connect the tooth to the jawbone.
Inside the crown and root or root canal, the pulp is placed.... The pulp nourishes the tooth and provides moisture around it.
### Why should the pulp be drained?
When the pulp is damaged, it decomposes and bacteria begin to multiply at the pulp site....the bacteria and pulp debris can cause infection....an abscess is a filled pocket that forms at the end of the root of a tooth....an infection in the root canal can cause swelling of the face and neck in other areas...### Root canal treatment is done in 8 steps
1... after local anesthesia (if needed), placing a rubber band between the teeth;
2... creating a cavity inside the tooth (the pulp is removed from the tooth along with bacteria and rotten nerve tissue);
3... identification of tooth root canals;
4... measuring the length of teeth;
5... cleaning and shaping the tooth root canals;
6... closing the cavity;
7... temporary tooth filling;
8... This stage is for when the root problem of your tooth has been solved, but the tooth still needs treatment.
### Canal root is done in how many sessions?
The repetition of this treatment is between one or two sessions.
### Is it possible that a tooth that is not decayed needs root canal treatment?
Yes.... In some cases, teeth that are free of any type of decay need a root canal because of pulp involvement, such as gum disease or periodontal surgery or trauma to the tooth.... Although these teeth look healthy, they need a root canal because of contamination or loss of pulp.
Also, in some cases, to carry out treatments such as cyst surgery and bone lesions, the dentist will treat the roots of the adjacent teeth before performing the surgery in order to prevent future problems if the teeth come in contact with the lesion. Also, in some cases where there is a need to shave the teeth in the prosthesis treatment, the prosthetist may request a root canal treatment.
