Root Canal Treatment to Save Your Tooth!

Don't have your tooth pulled, get root canal treatment!

 

With tooth decay, the dental pulp becomes inflamed and creates a feeling of pain and pain to the person. Tooth decay seen in all age groups can lead to tooth loss if not treated. Dentists consider it appropriate to apply endodontics (canal treatment) in patients with dental problems, if the tooth can be saved instead of tooth extraction. Root canal treatment is one of the treatment methods faced by many patients. So, what is root canal treatment and how is it done? Caretta Istanbul Dental Clinic offers painless root canal treatment in Istanbul.

 

 

Bacteria in dental caries cause inflammation of the pulp, which contains the vein and nerve package in the tooth. As a result of this inflammation, severe toothache in patients and even in advanced stages, lesions and tooth abscesses occur as the inflammation spreads from the tooth root to the surrounding bone tissues.

 

CANAL TREATMENTS PREVENT ACQUISITION

 

Many years ago, there was a common and mistaken belief that all tissues and organs containing bacteria in the body should be removed from the body. Because of this view, people's inflamed lymph nodes, tonsils, known as tonsils, and also their teeth were unnecessarily 'removed' from the body at that time. So much so that it was thought that the only way to treat dental infections was to extract the teeth. However, in the following period, it was proven that dental lesions were healed with successful root canal treatments and the idea that decayed teeth should be extracted was abandoned.

 

PATIENTS USE THEIR OWN TEETH FOR LIFE

 

Today, one of the main purposes of modern endodontics is to eliminate bacterial infections in the tooth and surrounding bone tissue with root canal treatment. However, with root canal treatments performed in hygienic conditions and in accordance with the rules, patients can use their own teeth for a lifetime and thus unnecessary tooth extractions are prevented.

 

Recent studies indicate that lesions around the root of the tooth may cause cardiovascular diseases and diabetes. Unfortunately, this information is misrepresented on various platforms and tooth extraction is brought back to the agenda instead of root canal treatment. Current studies on this subject reveal that the risk of cardiovascular diseases in individuals whose lesions are healed by root canal treatment is the same as in healthy individuals. In other words, a tooth with a successful root canal treatment has no effect on chronic diseases. Even negative changes in eating habits due to tooth loss can cause obesity, diabetes and ultimately cardiovascular diseases in individuals. For this reason, keeping the teeth in the mouth is very important in terms of preventing chronic diseases.
