Root Canal Treatment
Why is it Necessary and How to Decide?
Turnkey Health Tourism is a leading medical tourism company providing high quality dental health services to global patients. Root canal treatment is a way to save the tooth and relieve pain by removing damaged or infected pulp inside the tooth. Here is a detailed explanation about the importance, necessity and decision process of this treatment.
What is Root Canal Treatment?
Root canal treatment is a treatment applied as a result of infection or damage to the living tissue (pulp) inside the tooth. The treatment involves removing the infected tissue, cleaning and shaping the root canal, then filling the canal and sealing the tooth. This process ensures the protection of the tooth and the maintenance of oral health.
Why Root Canal Treatment is Needed?
When creating a holistic treatment plan within the scope of health tourism, root canal treatment sometimes becomes an inevitable necessity. The decision for this treatment is usually made by considering the following conditions
Prolonged sensitivity to cold or hot foods and beverages may be an indication of pulp damage.
Pain
Persistent or intermittent, severe pain in the tooth may be a sign that root canal treatment is needed.
Discolouration
Darkening or discolouration of the tooth indicates that the inner pulp has died.
Gum Problems
Swelling, tenderness or the formation of an infected abscess in the gums necessitates root canal treatment.
How to Decide?
Detailed Examination
Your dentist will assess your symptoms and carefully examine your tooth. This is important to determine the source of the pain.
X-ray
X-rays are taken to examine the tooth and the surrounding bone structure in more detail. This is critical in determining the extent of damage and the need for treatment.
Diagnosis
As a result of the above steps, your dentist will assess the condition of the pulp and decide if root canal treatment is necessary.
Root Canal Treatment in the Context of Health Tourism
Patients travelling as part of medical tourism are often looking for effective and permanent solutions in a limited amount of time. When creating a holistic treatment plan, procedures such as root canal treatment aim to alleviate the patient’s pain and eliminate infection while preserving the function and aesthetics of the tooth. This approach aims to improve dental health on a long-term basis by providing the patient with a comprehensive treatment.
1. Deep Caries
Deep caries, which goes beyond the enamel layer of the tooth and into the dentin layer or even into the pulp (the living tissue of the tooth), can cause bacteria to infiltrate the pulp chamber. This leads to inflammation and infection of the pulp. Root canal treatment is required to prevent the spread of the infection that starts in the pulp and to save the tooth.
3. Complications of Previous Dental Treatments
Frequent fillings or other dental treatments can lead to weakening of the tooth structure and pulp damage over time. These damages and weaknesses can cause inflammation inside the tooth, which makes root canal treatment mandatory.
2. Tooth Fractures or Splits
Large fractures or fractures, especially those affecting or close to the pulp, can allow bacteria to enter the pulp chamber and start an infection. Such damage requires intervention with root canal treatment when the pulp cannot be protected.
4. Symptoms of Severe Pain and Infection
Patients usually present with signs of infection, such as increased sensitivity to cold or hot food and drinks, persistent pain in the tooth, swelling of the gums or abscesses. These symptoms indicate that the pulp is severely affected and root canal treatment is needed.
