Anesthetics: in order to make the necessary filling for the tooth, first of all, local anesthesia is performed and the area of the tooth is numbed. Although people think that root canal treatment is more painful than filling, it is the opposite.

Pulpectomy: anesthesia is performed by opening the cavity (cavity) of the tooth and removing the diseased pulp. This process may take a short or long time depending on the condition of the tooth. However, since local anesthesia is performed, no pain is felt.

Filling: a cavity occurs in the area after the pulp is removed. This space is filled with a substance and closed with a substance. In general, all these procedures take about 1 hour on average, depending on the size of the tooth damage and the essence of the tooth. Root canal treatment usually requires; cracked teeth, deep decay and damage to the tooth due to taking a blow to the tooth.

During the last session, the temporary filler is removed from the canal and sealed with a permanent filler. In this process, a tapered rubber material is inserted into the channels separately and then sealed by gluing it with Siman. If necessary, a metal or plastic rod can be placed inside the tooth canal.
After all these procedures are finished, the tooth is covered with a crown to take its natural shape, if there is a fracture in the tooth, post-application can be made to repair the tooth before the crown is placed.

But for different reasons, the filler can fall or break. In these cases, it is necessary to fill again without losing time. Otherwise, the open canal may become infected and spread to other teeth.
