Thus, the nerves and tissues at the root of the tooth are cleaned. The root canal is shaped up to the root tip. Rvg (X-ray) is taken to determine the root canal length. Depending on the condition of the tooth, treatment can be done in a single session or in treatments that last several sessions.

Is root canal treatment painful?
Dental root canal treatments do not cause more pain than a simple filling procedure. On the other hand, it is wrong to claim that no pain is felt because each person’s pain threshold is different.

Will there be pain after root canal treatment?
If there is pain or infection before root canal treatment, sensitivity may develop in that tooth for a few days. This sensitivity can usually be controlled with over-the-counter pain medications. It is possible to have pain in a tooth that has had root canal treatment before. Some causes of this pain may be due to:

- Your root canal is not completely disinfected due to complex root anatomy
- A tooth injury that allows new caries to form
Should a root canal treated tooth be covered later?
Today, with the developing technology, the properties of filling materials have been improved a lot. Porcelain veneers are recommended to increase the long-term durability of root canal treated teeth during chewing. Kadıköy Root canal treatment dentist evaluates the tooth in terms of veneer. Sometimes recommends that the veneer be done immediately. Sometimes it may wait for the healing period to pass. As a result, it has been proven that the long-term resistance to fractures increases when root canal treated teeth are covered.
What Should Be Considered During Treatment?
After the root canal treatment is done in Istanbul Kadıköy, you should pay attention to the following. Nothing should be eaten or drunk until the effect of the anesthesia wears off. During the treatment, nuts and similar hard foods and sticky foods such as chewing gum should be avoided in the area of the treated tooth. Most tooth fractures are seen between sessions. Care should be taken that the temporary filling does not fall between treatment sessions.
