Since root canal treatment is often seen as a painful procedure, most patients tend to postpone the treatment process. However, thanks to modern techniques, root canals can be treated relatively painlessly and comfortably after one or two sessions. Contrary to popular belief, patients do not feel pain during root canal treatment. In cases where pain is felt, it can be said that this pain is caused by infection in the area. The purpose of root canal treatment is to eliminate the pain that bothers patients. Treatment; It starts with effective anesthesia of the tooth and surrounding tissues, and the session is completed in approximately 45 minutes. If patients postpone the treatment process, it may cause infection in the tissues of the tooth root. This can lead to bone and tooth loss.
Root canal treatment, also known as endodontic treatment, refers to removing the damaged or infected pulp of a tooth, disinfecting the tooth, and then resealing it with a filling. The pulp, located in the innermost part of the tooth, can be thought of as a soft core. In the pulp extending to the root tip of the teeth; contains nerves, blood vessels and connective tissue. In cases where the tooth cracks as a result of an impact or a deep decay occurs, bacteria enter the pulp and begin to multiply there. If this condition is left untreated, the bacteria can cause a serious infection or dental abscess, leading to bone or tooth loss along with pulp death. In such a case, root canal treatment is applied to the cracked or decayed tooth to save the tooth.
The most common conditions that require root canal treatment are deep caries and cracks in the dental bone. In cases where the tooth is too damaged to heal, the pulp is removed to protect the tooth. Therefore, the biggest advantage of root canal treatment is to save the dead tooth and not lose the bone structure of the tooth. Some symptoms of conditions requiring root canal treatment can be listed as follows:

Root canal treatment is a dental procedure used to treat infection or damage deep within the tooth's pulp (the innermost part of the tooth containing nerves and blood vessels). It involves removing the infected or damaged tissue, cleaning and shaping the root canals, and filling them with a biocompatible material to seal the tooth.
Root canal treatment is typically needed when the pulp inside the tooth becomes infected or inflamed due to deep decay, repeated dental procedures on the tooth, or trauma to the tooth.
The procedure is usually performed under local anesthesia to numb the tooth and surrounding area. The dentist or endodontist (a specialist in treating the inside of teeth) removes the infected or inflamed pulp, cleans the inside of the tooth, and shapes the root canals. After cleaning, the canals are filled and sealed with a material called gutta-percha.
With modern techniques and anesthesia, root canal treatment is usually no more uncomfortable than having a routine filling done. Some soreness after the procedure is normal and can be managed with over-the-counter pain medications.
The duration of the procedure can vary depending on the complexity of the tooth and the extent of infection. Typically, a root canal treatment can be completed in one or two appointments.
After the root canal treatment, the tooth may feel sensitive for a few days. Your dentist may prescribe antibiotics if there was an infection. A crown or other restoration is usually placed on the tooth to protect it and restore its function.
The main alternative to root canal treatment is tooth extraction. However, it is generally recommended to save the natural tooth whenever possible, as extracting the tooth may require additional procedures (such as dental implants or bridges) to restore the missing tooth.
Root canal treatment has a high success rate, typically around 95%. With proper care, including good oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups, a tooth that has undergone root canal treatment can last a lifetime.
