What is root canal treatment?
Inside the tooth, there are a chamber (dental pulp chamber) containing the blood, lymph veins and nerves and canals extending to the roots. In the big decays or big fractures in the tooth, this nerve tissue dies. The infection happens inside the tooth due to the bacteria in the saliva. In this case, kusadasi root canal treatment is required for rescuing the tooth.
Why is root canal treatment needed?
If there is infection or permanent damage in dental pulp, the root canal treatment is needed.
The fracture, cracking and trauma happened in the tooth, or deep restorative works such as one or more realized fillings can give damages to the dental pulp after certain duration.
The persons to which crown will be applied can need root canal treatment for tooth root before the application.
Before the root canal treatment, the roentgen of the tooth is drawn and it is determined whether an inflammation exists or not. The inflammation available in the dental pulp can cause pain or infection. The infection happening in the dental pulp can cause the abscess formation and damage on the bone surrounding the tooth.
In case a root canal treatment is not applied to a tooth which gets damaged and is infected, the tooth becomes the infection center of the body.
If the root canal treatment is not realized, it can be required to pull out the tooth. It is always preferred to protect the natural tooth. One or more tooth missing can cause the replacement of the neighboring teeth and deformation of posture. Also, protecting the natural teeth does not require the application of expensive and deep treatments such as implant and bridges.
Issues to be considered in root canal treatment and after it
