Root canal treatment (endodontics) is a treatment method used to repair and preserve infected or damaged teeth. The steps applied during root canal treatment are as follows:First, the part in the center of the tooth that contains nerve tissue and blood vessels and is known as the pulp must be removed.After this, the inside of the tooth should be cleaned and then the opened gap should be filled.If tooth decay is not treated when it should be treated, the decay progresses deeper into the tooth. Which causes inflammation of the dental nerve. Inflammation of the dental nerves causes the patient to experience severe pain.The removal of the dental nerve from the tooth is a very necessary procedure to prevent the patient from experiencing pain. The dental nerve is a sensory nerve used to sense warm and cold. If the problems occurring here are not treated, abscesses may form as the tissue surrounding the tooth becomes infected.
Pain After Dental Root Canal Treatment
If the tooth of individuals who have undergone root canal treatment becomes infected again, it should be said that the treatment was unsuccessful. It may take weeks, months or even years to realize that root canal treatment was unsuccessful. Symptoms of unsuccessful root canal treatment: signs of infection such as color changes in tooth, which had the root canal treatment, abscess or swelling in the gum. It is very important to treat such symptoms because if these are left untreated, the infection can spread to other teeth. Even after a successful root canal treatment, it is quite normal to have toothache after the treatment. But this pain should pass in a short period of time . If the pain does not go away and continues to increase, it is required to consult a dentist.
