Root canal treatment (also called endodontics) is a dental procedure used to treat infection at the centre of a tooth which means; the blood or nerve supply of the tooth (known as the pulp) is badly inflamed, infected through decay or injury or dead. You may not feel any pain in the early stages of the infection. In some cases, the colour of your infected tooth could be darker, which means that the nerve of the tooth has died (or is dying), this is when a tooth needs root canal procedure. Infection may spread through the root canal of the tooth.
This can eventually lead to an abscess which causes swelling of the tissues around the tooth. The symptoms of an abscess can cause dull ache to severe pain and the tooth may be very tender when you bite. If root canal treatment (RCT) is not performed, the infection will spread and the tooth may need to be extracted.
Removing the bacteria from the root canal system is not painful and can save a tooth that might otherwise have to be removed completely. Some roots have more than one root canal, but all have at least one canal. When a tooth infection cleaning is carried out, the nerve and pulp are removed and the inside of the tooth is cleaned and sealed to prevent bacteria from entering. Without root canal treatment, the tissue surrounding the tooth will become infected and abscesses may form.
Usually, the treatment of a root canal system is recommended or needed when there is an infection deep within the tooth. The pulp inside the tooth can become infected with bacteria because of an injury or a severe, untreated cavity. Without a root canal procedure, the infection can become severe enough that the tooth has to be removed.
The aim of root canal therapy isn’t to cause you immense pain. Instead, it is to save a tooth that is severely infected. As the National Institutes of Health puts it, a dentist performs the procedure to remove bacteria and dying or dead tissue from inside the tooth.
Modern techniques and technology have helped root canal treatment evolve into a relatively comfortable procedure that often requires no more than one or two visits to the dentist or endodontist.
Sometimes damaged teeth cannot be repaired with root canal treatment. In general, this happens if you have a severely damaged tooth or if you have a severe gum disease that prevents your tooth from healing or having good support after treatment. In this case, your dentist may suggest a tooth extraction.
Many patients have questions and concerns about the procedure. Thanks to modern dentistry and technology, there isn’t much to worry about. A root canal treatment in Turkey is virtually pain-free and widely successful.
What goes on during a root canal procedure abroad? There are three main root canal treatment steps that your tooth will go through under local anaesthesia:
The soft tissue inside of your tooth is filled with a substance called the pulp. When root canal treatment is required it is usually because this part of the tooth has become infected. Patients will usually visit their general dentist for a toothache. Once other issues are ruled out, the general dentist will direct the patient to a specialist for further examination.
The reason patients are directed to see a specialist is because, once the general dentist has identified the teeth infection causing the toothache to be inside the tooth, more advanced technology is needed to fully understand the problem.
An endodontist will use digital imaging and digital x-rays to confirm that root canal treatment is required for the tooth.
To get rid of the infected pulp inside the tooth, the endodontist drills a small opening at the top of the tooth. Via surgical tools, the endodontist cleans out the root canals, removing any infection, and possibly applying medication to ensure no infection is left to cause further issues.
The root canals are now cleaned out and free from teeth infection.
The endodontist will fill the chamber that once hosted the infected pulp with a new root filler. An adhesive is used to seal off the area, protecting the new root filler from any bacteria or saliva.
Sometimes, during stage two of a root canal treatment in Turkey, the dentist must widen the root canal to clean out the teeth infection. If this is the case, the tooth will need to be restored with a rod or another strengthening method.
A temporary filling is placed over the opening at the top of the tooth.
After a few weeks, the patient must make an appointment with a restorative dentistry specialist to get the temporary filling removed. The restorative dentist will place a crown over the treated tooth, making the tooth as strong as it was before the teeth infection.
The seal used by restorative dentists to restore the tooth will also help protect the tooth from further infection.
The treatment of a root canal system infection is highly successful; the procedure has more than a 95 % success rate and many teeth fixed with a root canal can last a lifetime. Root canal treatment is usually successful at saving the tooth and clearing the infection. Having a crown fitted to the tooth after the root canal procedure is essential to improve tooth survival rates. If you keep your teeth clean, endodontics provides long-lasting results.
The survival of your tooth depends on a number of factors, including: how much of the natural tooth remains, how clean you keep your teeth, and biting forces on the tooth. But if a tooth infection recurs, root canal treatment in Turkey can be repeated.

Ive been wanting my teeth done for a long time. I was very uneasy about goin abroad, until a few people returned from the clinic with nothing but praise.. so i had my details passed to the clinic, i then received a welcome message from the clinic and then my journey began. Since i started speaking to the clinic ive had my teeth done and returned home in the space of 4 weeks. Every aspect of the trip surpassed my expectations, price of treatment being top of the list as the price back home was far greater. My experince with every member of the team aas second to none. These people didnt know me but couldbt do enough for me. Ive recommend the clinic to anyone who has mentioned some sort of treament after my experience. The hotel was better than expected. The service was outstanding again couldnt do enough. The food was a very high standard as was the ghm facilities which I was please even tho i travelled alone i didnt feel on my own i received messages daily to check how i was feeling before and after my treatment which made my trip and experience better. If theres any doubt in anyones mind of visiting this clinic , I can personally say you will notnbe disapointed with the team the clinic hotel or the end product.
looked at several different options for Dental work and got lots of quotes. I needed extensive work! Root canal was badly done in London, veneers and extractions. Some were cheaper (I’ve learned from experience that cheaper is not always best). Then after looking at reviews and the professional correspondence and answers to all my queries and concerns, I chose to go with the Clinic Centre and I believe it to be the best decision I made!! Everything was dealt with in a professional manner and my correspondence with my coordinator ERME was 10/10 👍 thank you kindly!! My teeth look fantastic!! Would recommend 100% and totally amazed by the difference from the U.K. treatment.
This is a review regarding my visit to Istanbul for 20 crowns that i had 1 week ago.
I will write another review after 6 months -1year and update you on the work done.
Dental Cost and accomodation was included in the quote.
Over the 1 week period i ve had 3 appoiments and rest really felt like a holiday.
Whole procedure didn t hurt as you numb down but some discomfort will be with your temporary teeths until your final crowns are cemented.
We been lucky enough to have Summeya as a host and she showed us the city,took the ferry, went and tried some turkish cuisine in between dental appoiments.
More updates will follow up and hopefully with good news.
Root canal procedures have the reputation of being painful but truth is no. Since patients are given anaesthesia, root canal treatment in Turkey isn’t more painful than a regular dental procedure. However, root canal therapy may cause patients to feel a bit sore or numb and experience mild discomfort for a few days after the procedure.
You will most likely be numb for 2-4 hours following the procedure. Most patients are able to return to school or work directly following a root canal treatment. However, it is not advised until the numbness is completely gone.
Yes. However, as a dead tooth is more brittle, it may be necessary to restore the tooth with a crown to provide extra support and strength to the tooth.
Unless told otherwise by your dentist or endodontist, brush and floss your teeth as you regularly do after a root canal treatment in Turkey.
Sometimes after a root canal procedure, the tooth can become slightly discoloured or develop spots called intrinsic stains, where the tooth bleeds internally and the inner part of the tooth turns yellow or dark. Luckily, the tooth can be whitened afterward through internal (non-vital) bleaching.
Sometimes when the dentist removes the damaged or decayed part of the tooth, he or she is working close to the nerve. Thus, damage is often unavoidable. Usually the tooth is carefully dressed and sealed and can settle down but often a teeth infection occurs under the new filling and a few weeks later develops into severe pain, leading to an abscess.
About 95% of all root canal treatments are completely successful and never give trouble again. There is a small but significant failure rate with root canal therapy as the work involved is quite complex. Besides, resistant infections, complicated root canal systems or instrument fracture may mitigate against a successful procedure. But this is not at all the norm.
It is important for patients not to eat anything until the numbness wears off, as you could accidentally bite your tongue or tissues or cause additional damage to your teeth. After the numbness is gone; you can eat softer food that does not require a lot of chewing since eating hard food can cause unnecessary discomfort.
If left untreated, a tooth infection can spread to other parts of the body, and in some cases can even be life threatening. If you need a tooth infection cleaning, the infected pulp in the tooth needs to be removed.
The need of a crown after a root canal therapy depends highly on the location of the tooth in the mouth-teeth towards the back of the mouth like molars and premolars are needed more for chewing, and generally require crowns, where incisors or canines which aren’t needed for chewing don’t always require crowns.
Root canal treatment can fail for a variety of reasons that includes insufficient cleaning of the canals, a breakdown of the crown or its inner sealant, or essentially anything that allows the tooth that previously had a root canal treatment to become infected at the root and affect other teeth.
Often a tooth changes its colour when it has been root filled. If the discolouration is visible on an anterior tooth, you may prefer to have the tooth crowned to restore its colour and to improve the strength of the tooth. If the tooth is heavily filled, it may require crowning at some stage following a root canal therapy in Turkey. It is good practice to allow the endodontic treatment to settle for a couple of months or so before crowning the tooth.
Root canal treatment in Turkey is usually very successful. However, if the infection comes back, the treatment can be repeated. Occasionally, if the inflammation persists at the tip of the root, surgery can be carried out to remove the inflamed part, clean the area and put in a filling. This is known as an ‘apicectomy.’
