Endodontics (Root Canal Treatment)

Root canal treatment at ViraDenta in Ümraniye, Istanbul aims to save your natural tooth by cleaning the inflamed or infected pulp inside it.

Do you have a toothache? Is your tooth sensitive? These symptoms may mean that the pulp, the soft tissue inside your tooth, is inflamed or infected. In this case, endodontic treatment may be an effective way to save your tooth.

What Is Endodontics?

Endodontics, commonly known as root canal treatment, is the branch of dentistry concerned with treating the tooth’s pulp (the inner core of the tooth). The pulp is living tissue that contains the tooth’s nerves, blood vessels and connective tissue. The pulp can become inflamed or infected for various reasons, such as decay, trauma or infection. This can lead to symptoms such as toothache, sensitivity and swelling.

How Is the Treatment Performed?

In root canal treatment, the inflamed or infected pulp is carefully removed from the tooth. The root canals are then cleaned, shaped and disinfected. Finally, the root canals are sealed with filling material and the tooth is restored.
