Questions & Answers
Is root canal treatment painful?
Before the canal treatment procedure begins, the affected area is numbed with local anesthesia. After that, the procedure is completed without pain.
How many appointments are needed for root canal treatment?
Root canal treatment is generally completed in one appointment by the endodontist in our clinic.
In case of severe inflammation, it can take two appointments.
The number of appointments is determined by the endodontist, depending on the condition of the tooth.
How long does root canal treatment take?
Root canal treatments in our clinic, performed by an endodontic specialist, are completed in one session within 1 hour, along with filling.
How does the tooth feel after root canal treatment?
Because the nerves are removed during the canal treatment, there will be no sensation in the tooth after the procedure. But a few days after the procedure there may be slight pain in the tooth and surrounding area.
What is root canal reprocessing and when is it necessary?
In cases where previous root canal treatment is considered unsuccessful, the filling material within the root canal of the teeth is removed and the canals are reshaped. This procedure is called root canal treatment. If pain in the tooth that required root canal treatment is still present and there is still inflammation, canal renovation can be performed under favorable conditions. Root canal treatment can be performed again, and highly successful results can be obtained with root canal renewal.
