Root Canal Treatment

Root canal treatment is performed when the pulp tissue inside the tooth is damaged due to deep decay, fractures, trauma, or infection. During this procedure, the pulp is removed, the canals are shaped, and they are sealed with special filling materials. The goal is to preserve the natural tooth so that it can continue functioning in the mouth rather than extracting it. Thanks to modern devices and imaging systems, root canal treatment is performed in a more controlled and comfortable manner. Since treated teeth may become more fragile, they are often supported with fillings or crowns afterward. A properly completed root canal treatment allows long-term use of the tooth, and maintaining good oral hygiene significantly supports treatment success.
