Root canal treatment is a treatment method used when the soft tissue (pulp) inside the tooth becomes inflamed or infected. This treatment involves removing nerves, blood vessels and other soft tissues from the inside of the tooth and cleaning and disinfecting the cavity. The cavity is then filled and sealed with filling material.

Root canal treatment is usually performed in the following cases:

Severe Toothache: Severe pain due to inflammation or death of the nerves inside the tooth.

Dental Abscesses and Infections: Abscess formation or infection as a result of inflammation in the tooth root.

Deep Caries: The tissues inside the tooth are affected by decay.

Tooth Trauma: Damage to the internal tissues as a result of a blow to the tooth.

Root canal treatment can help protect the tooth and prevent it from being extracted. However, it is important to take regular care of the tooth and follow post-treatment recommendations to increase the chances of success.
