Root Canal Treatment in Turkey: Saving Your Natural Smile
Root canal treatment (Endodontics) is a vital dental procedure designed to eliminate infection from the inside of a tooth while preserving its natural structure and function. Instead of extracting a damaged tooth, root canal therapy provides a solution that restores your oral health, prevents bone loss, and maintains your natural chewing efficiency.
At Dental Harmony Turkey, we combine advanced diagnostic tools, precision instruments, and a patient-centred approach to ensure a comfortable experience and long-term success.
When Is a Root Canal Needed?
Root canal therapy is necessary when the dental pulp—the soft tissue inside the tooth containing nerves and blood vessels—becomes inflamed or infected. Common signs include:
- Severe toothache while chewing or applying pressure.
- Prolonged sensitivity to hot or cold temperatures.
- Discolouration (darkening) of the tooth.
- Swelling or tenderness in the nearby gums.
- A recurring pimple on the gums (abscess).
The Procedure: Precision Through Technology
We follow a meticulous operative phase to ensure the infection is thoroughly removed and the tooth is hermetically sealed.
1. Advanced Diagnosis and Imaging We use Digital X-rays and CBCT (3D Imaging) to map your tooth’s internal anatomy. This allows us to identify hidden canals and the exact extent of the infection with 100% accuracy.
2. Pain-Free Cleaning and Shaping Under local anaesthesia, the infected pulp is removed. We use Rotary Nickel-Titanium (NiTi) files and Electronic Apex Locators for precise cleaning and shaping of the canals. This modern technology makes the process faster and far more comfortable than traditional manual methods.
3. Disinfection and Obturation The canals are thoroughly disinfected using ultrasonic irrigation to reach every microscopic area. Once cleaned and dried, the canals are filled with a biocompatible material called gutta-percha to prevent future re-infection.
4. Final Restoration After the root canal is complete, the tooth is sealed. In most cases, especially for molars, we recommend a full-coverage crown to protect the weakened tooth structure from fracture and ensure long-term durability.
Post-Treatment Care and Recovery
Immediate Recovery It is normal to feel mild tenderness for a few days as the surrounding tissue heals. This is easily managed with over-the-counter pain relief.
Chewing Precautions Avoid biting down on hard foods until the permanent crown or filling is placed.
Long-Term Hygiene A root-canaled tooth requires the same care as a natural tooth—regular brushing, flossing, and professional check-ups.
