Root Canal Treatment
Untreated tooth decay that reaches the enamel and dentin, as well as dental traumas, can lead to inflammation in the dental pulp. At this stage, a root canal treatment may be necessary. The decayed portion of the tooth is removed, and the infected pulp tissue is carefully extracted. The root canal is then thoroughly cleaned using small end files and a specialized cleaning solution. To prevent future infection, the root canals are filled with dental fillings that extend to the root apex. The tooth can be restored to its natural appearance using aesthetic fillings or crowns. In most cases, this treatment can be completed in a single session, except for certain situations. The success rate of root canal treatment is generally high, and it is an effective method for saving a tooth and alleviating pain or infection.
