To treat the infection in the root canal, the bacteria need to be removed.This can be done by either:
But removing the tooth is not usually recommended as it's better to keep as many of your natural teeth as possible.Before having root canal treatment, you'll usually be given a local anaesthetic. This means the procedure should be painless and no more unpleasant than having a filling.After the bacteria have been removed, the root canal is filled and the tooth sealed with a filling or crown.In most cases the inflamed tissue near the tooth will heal naturally.Root canal treatment is usually successful. In about 9 out of 10 cases a tooth can survive for up to 10 years after root canal treatment.
If you decide against having a root canal done, the only other alternatives are natural tooth loss or having your infected/damaged tooth extracted. This is not the recommended course of action to take because a lost or pulled tooth will leave a gap in your smile which will prompt the adjacent teeth to shift out of alignment in an effort to close that gap. This can hamper your ability to chew food properly which can lead to problems with digestion. And, since misaligned teeth are more difficult to clean, you could end up with tooth decay or gum disease to cause even more problems that can be painful and costly to treat.
Before your procedure, you’ll have the chance to speak to your dentist about any potential complications that could occur during or after your treatment. Then, if anything were to happen, you can always come back to the DP Smile clinic in Antalya to speak to the experts.
And remember – prevention is always better than a cure, so ensure you maintain good oral hygiene following treatment, and that you avoid sugary foods and smoking.
