However, we must not forget that\u00a0<strong>Root canal treatment is a tooth-saving procedure which can extend the lifespan of a tooth for many years.<\/strong>\u00a0and we can avoid the tooth extraction.<\/p>\n<p>In our article, we have gathered the most important information related to root canal treatment and advice from our dentists, and you can also find out what happens after root canal treatment!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h2-1\">Mikor \u00e9s mi\u00e9rt fontos gy\u00f6k\u00e9rkezel\u00e9st v\u00e9gezni egy fogon?<\/h2>\n<p>Inside every tooth is a small chamber, called the pulp, which contains the vessels and nerves that supply the tooth. These run through the root and then, at one point, exit into the bone tissue surrounding the teeth. In the event that inside the tooth\u00a0<strong>The nerves are damaged, and the tooth responds with inflammation<\/strong>, or can even die. Bacteria settle in the dead tooth, causing inflammation of the tooth root.<\/p>\n<p>A root canal treatment is needed when the inner part of the tooth, the pulp, becomes damaged and inflamed. This is most often caused by decay or mechanical injury, such as a broken tooth.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"h3-2\"><strong>Let's look at some specific cases when root canal treatment becomes necessary!<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Often, the problem can be caused by an unnoticed and painless, but neglected\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/naturadent.hu\/blog\/lyukas-fog-fogszuvasodas-ezert-kezeltesse-minel-hamarabb\">leaky tooth<\/a>\u00a0in which the caries deepens, gets closer and closer to the tooth socket and eventually causes inflammation.<\/p>\n<p>A common case is also that a more extensive filling beneath the tooth, and then inflammation around the root, develops, which is clearly visible on an X-ray.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>At this stage, painkillers will no longer resolve the problem, and root canal treatment is absolutely necessary. Otherwise, the pain will become daily, we could lose the tooth, or even the jaw could be permanently damaged. It's not worth waiting for this stage, as\u00a0<strong>Root canal treatment is now a quick, precise, and painless procedure.<\/strong>\u00a0with which even such an inflamed tooth can be saved!<\/p>\n<p>A gy\u00f6k\u00e9rkezel\u00e9s c\u00e9lja, hogy a<strong>\u00a0save teeth by eliminating infection<\/strong>, eliminate pain, avoid tooth extraction and extend the life of your tooth by many years!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h2-3\">Root canal treatment procedure<\/h2>\n<p>Root canal treatment involves removing the nerve inside the tooth and\u00a0<strong>infected tissues are removed<\/strong>. Our dentists can\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/naturadent.hu\/blog\/lezerfogaszat\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" aria-label=\" A dental laser is being used (opens a new ear)\">dental lasers are used<\/a>, which is used to open a small passage to the root canals and clean out the inflamed nerves that are causing the pain. Once the bacteria are cleared, the infection, inflammation and pain are gone.<\/p>\n<p>Depending on the number of tooth roots and the extent of the inflammation, one or more sessions may be needed to completely remove the nerves and clean the root canal precisely.<\/p>\n<p>At Naturadent, during root canal treatments\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.naturadent.hu\/lezerfogaszat\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" aria-label=\"Biolase Waterlase iPlus (opens in a new tab)\">Biolase Waterlase iPlus<\/a>\u00a0we use a dental laser.\u00a0<strong>The laser light beam cleans the infected canals in the tooth, 100% sterilizes, almost \u201cmelts\u201d the bacteria<\/strong>, which makes it much more efficient than the traditional method.<\/p>\n<p>Root canal treatments in our clinic\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/naturadent.hu\/blog\/lezeres-mikroszkopos-gyokerkezeles-mikor-jo-megoldas-es-hogyan-zajlik\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" aria-label=\"also carried out with a microscope (opens in new tab)\">also carried out with a microscope<\/a>. The inside of teeth is very difficult to see with the human eye, which is where the dental microscope comes in, enabling even more accurate and precise results. Thanks to this unique method, the success rate of root canal treatments performed at Naturadent is exceptionally high.<\/p>\n<p>The root-treated tooth is first\u00a0<strong>We will close it with a medicated filling<\/strong>, which is used to reduce inflammation. The temporary filling is replaced with a permanent filling, which restores the tooth to its original function and aesthetics.<\/p>\n<p>The biggest advantage of laser microscopic root canal treatment is that\u00a0<strong>takes less time<\/strong>, so our patients spend less time in the dental chair and thanks to the disinfectant effect\u00a0<strong>recovery is also faster<\/strong>, in many cases there is no need for as much control as with traditional root canal treatment. Thanks to the microscope, our dentists can carry out this highly precise treatment with outstanding accuracy, preventing complaints after root canal treatment.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><\/div>\n<p>In 90%of cases, the upper molars have a fourth canal, but the majority of dentists cannot see this with the naked eye or even with magnification. This is why inflammation around the root and foci in the body develop in these cases. Thanks to the dental microscope, we can greatly increase the success rate of root canal treatments, as the entire treated surface is visible in detail and well illuminated.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h2-4\">You may experience these pains<\/h2>\n<p>After the root canal treatment, you may feel mild pain and tenderness around the tooth for a few days. This is quite normal, as the tooth was inflamed for days before the treatment, which takes time to heal.<\/p>\n<p>Inflammation no longer feeds from the tooth that has been sealed with a root canal, but the old inflammation must be cleared.\u00a0<strong>The pain will decrease day by day, then disappear completely<\/strong>. During these days, you can also take painkillers prescribed by your dentist or available over-the-counter.<\/p>\n<p>If the tooth pain recurs after the root canal treatment and does not go away after a few days, or gets worse, we strongly recommend that you see your dentist again. The dentist may not find all the root canals or may not be able to fully explore them.<\/p>\n<p>If channels or parts of channels remain in an infected tooth, with bacteria still present, the inflammation will not subside and will continue to cause pain. In this case, it is advisable to seek professional help as soon as possible, as root canal retreatment will be necessary.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h2-5\">Root canal treatment aftercare<\/h2>\n<p>For proper healing and to prevent re-infection of the tooth\u00a0<strong>Be sure to follow your dentist's instructions<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>After root canal treatment, while the temporary filling is in the tooth, you should avoid chewing on the affected side. It is recommended to eat soft foods, cut into small pieces.<\/p>\n<p>It is also not recommended to consume fizzy, sugary soft drinks, coffee, tea, and alcohol, as the sugary and acidic environment promotes bacterial growth. Chewy, sticky foods should also be avoided, as they can easily stick to the treated tooth, thereby loosening the temporary filling.<\/p>\n<p>If the filling becomes loose, bacteria can enter the inside of the tooth again, requiring re-treatment.\u00a0<strong>If you feel your filling has loosened or fallen out, be sure to see a dentist!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h2-6\">Consult our expert!<\/h2>\n<p>If you need root canal treatment for a toothache or if you experience any of the symptoms listed above after root canal treatment, please contact an expert\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/naturadent.hu\/rolunk\/orvosaink\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" aria-label=\"to our dentists (opens in a new tab)\">to our dentists<\/a>!<\/p>\n<p>At the Naturadent practice<strong>\u00a0We perform root canal treatment under anaesthesia, with laser dental instruments, completely painlessly.<\/strong>.
