Channel Treatment

Canal treatment; is often seen as a painful procedure. Many people tend to postpone the treatment process. However, with modern methods, root canals can be treated relatively painlessly and comfortably after one or two sessions. Contrary to popular belief, people do not experience pain during root canal treatment. In cases where pain is experienced, it can be attributed to infection in the area.

Therefore, the number of people who do not go to the dentist or who apply after some problems is very high. The process of removing impacted teeth is a very simple method. With modern health technologies and developing medical science, dentists aim to minimize complications that may occur after the operation. People can generally return to their normal lives after tooth extraction.

Treatment of Tooth Fracture

Tooth fractures are traumatic injuries that cover a large area of the mouth. Tooth fractures manifest themselves as small fractures or cracks on the outer surface. However, these visual fractures are sometimes not limited to a visible crack, but also affect the underlying tissues of the tooth. 

For Treatment of tooth fracture, treatment is planned according to the tissue that occurs in tooth fractures. If the fracture does not extend too far to the root side of the tooth, the broken piece is removed and the broken tissue is treated. If the fracture is observed up to the pulp, a combined treatment is performed with root canal treatment. If the fracture is partial, it is treated with a crown crown. If the fracture has progressed to the root, tooth extraction may occur. In such cases, a dentist should be consulted immediately.
