What is root Canal Treatment?
When decay reaches the nerve of a tooth, or the tooth is injured, the nerve tissue (pulp) can become inflamed or infected. In root canal treatment this tissue is removed, the canals are shaped and disinfected, and then sealed with a special filling material. The aim is to keep the tooth instead of extracting it.
How is root Canal Treatment done?
- X-ray to see the number of canals and the extent of infection
- Local anaesthesia and isolation of the tooth
- Cleaning, shaping and disinfecting the canals
- Filling the canals and restoring the tooth with a filling or a crown
What affects the cost of root canal treatment in İzmir?
The cost of root canal treatment depends on factors such as number of canals (front tooth or molar); use of a dental microscope or rotary instruments; whether it is a re-treatment of an old root canal; whether a filling or a crown is needed afterwards, and is set by the doctor after an examination.
