When Is Root Canal Treatment Needed?

Our Istanbul clinicians assess each tooth and gum condition individually before recommending treatment.

Persistent toothache or sensitivity to hot and cold
Swelling, abscess, or darkening of a tooth
Deep decay reaching the nerve chamber
Cracked tooth with pulp involvement
Need to preserve a tooth before crown placement

What to Expect During Treatment

Diagnosis & Imaging

Clinical tests and X-rays confirm whether the pulp is infected and root canal therapy is indicated.

Anaesthesia & Access

The tooth is numbed and a small access opening is made to reach the root canals.

Cleaning & Shaping

Infected tissue is removed, canals disinfected and shaped using rotary instruments.

Sealing & Restoration

Canals are filled, the tooth sealed, and a crown recommended to protect long-term strength.

Recovery & Aftercare

Most patients resume normal activities within one to two days. Mild tenderness when biting is normal and settles quickly.

  • Take prescribed medication as directed
  • Avoid chewing on the treated tooth until permanently restored
  • Attend follow-up for crown placement when advised
  • Maintain daily brushing and flossing
