Endodontics (Canal Treatments)

At Fethiye Dental Studio, we specialize in endodontic treatments, commonly known as root canal treatments. Here’s what you need to know:

What Is Endodontics?

• Definition: Endodontics focuses on diagnosing and treating diseases or injuries related to the dental pulp (the innermost part of the tooth containing nerves and blood vessels).
• Root Canal Treatment: This procedure involves removing infected pulp tissue, disinfecting the root canals, and filling them with special materials. It aims to save a severely damaged or infected tooth.

When Is Endodontic Treatment Needed?

1. Severe Toothache: Persistent tooth pain, especially when chewing or applying pressure.
2. Sensitivity: Increased sensitivity to hot or cold temperatures.
3. Swelling or Abscess: Inflammation or pus around the tooth.
4. Deep Decay: Extensive cavities that reach the pulp.
5. Trauma: Injury or fracture affecting the pulp.

The Endodontic Process:

1. Diagnosis: Our experienced dentists use X-rays and clinical examination to assess the tooth’s condition.
2. Local Anesthesia: The area around the affected tooth is numbed.
3. Pulp Removal: The infected pulp is carefully removed from the root canals.
4. Cleaning and Shaping: The canals are cleaned, shaped, and disinfected.
5. Filling: The canals are filled with a biocompatible material (usually gutta-percha).
6. Restoration: A crown or filling is placed on the treated tooth to restore its function.

Advantages of Endodontics:

1. Preserving Natural Teeth: Endodontic treatment allows you to keep your natural tooth rather than extracting it.
2. Relief from Pain: It alleviates toothache and discomfort.
3. Improved Oral Health: By treating infections, endodontics prevents further complications.
