Root canal treatment in Yalova is a treatment used to preserve teeth that have become infected or have lost their vitality due to deep decay. The goal is to clean the infected tissue within the root canal, shape and disinfect the canals, and seal them, without removing the tooth. According to the experience of our Yalova dental clinic, with proper technique and appropriate anesthesia, the procedure proceeds smoothly; most patients experience a much more comfortable process than they anticipated.

1) What is Yalova dental root canal treatment?
Root canal treatment involves removing the pulp tissue from the root canals, shaping and cleaning the canals with chemical solutions, and filling them with biocompatible materials. This removes the source of infection and restores tooth function. Clinical examination, periapical/panoramic x-rays, and, if necessary, vitality tests are used to accurately identify the source of the problem.

2) Is there pain? Why does pain occur?
Fears often stem from misinformation. Thanks to current protocols and effective local anesthesia, pain during the procedure is minimal . Draining the inflamed tissue reduces pain pressure; most patients describe significant relief after the procedure. Sensitivity is normal in the first 24–48 hours and can be controlled with analgesics recommended by the doctor. In Yalova dental clinics , postoperative complaints are low with
antiseptic irrigation and appropriate obturation . External links:

3) How many sessions does it take and what is the total duration?
Depending on the condition of the tooth, a single or two sessions are required. Teeth with a single root and controlled acute pain can generally be treated in a single session . For teeth with multiple roots or extensive infection, two sessions may be recommended , with interim medication (such as calcium hydroxide) . The average session duration is 45–90 minutes. Severe infection, narrow/crooked root canals, or previous unsuccessful treatments may prolong the procedure.

4) Steps: from examination to filling
- Diagnosis and planning: Clinical examination, x-ray, and CBCT evaluation if necessary.
• Anesthesia and isolation: Isolation with a rubber dam provides protection from saliva and infection control.
• Pulp removal: Infected tissue is removed; root canal size is confirmed with an electronic apex locator and x-ray. • Shaping and disinfection: Mechanical and chemical cleaning is performed with rotary instruments and copious irrigation. • Temporary or definitive filling: Inter-session medication depending on the case; root canal filling (gutta- percha , sealer ) when appropriate.
• Upper restoration: Sealed composite filling or crown if necessary. The quality of the upper restoration is critical for long-term success. In
the Yalova Dental Clinic approach, the upper restoration is not delayed, preventing the risk of fracture and leakage.

5) Aftercare: pain, nutrition, hygiene
Chewing on the untreated side for the first day and avoiding very hard or hot foods will help provide comfort. Take a doctor-recommended analgesic if necessary. Mild chewing sensitivity will subside within a few days. If pain, swelling, or fever increases, contact the clinic. Regular brushing, interdental cleaning, and follow-up appointments prolong the life of the treated tooth. Teeth that have undergone root canal treatment can last longer when reinforced with a crown due to the weakened structure and high bite forces.

6) Frequently asked questions
Does root canal treatment in Yalova kill a tooth?
No. The diseased pulp is removed, and the tooth continues to function in the mouth. With the correct restoration, it can last for years without any problems.
Why do root canal treatments fail in Yalova?
Leaks can occur due to overlooked canals, inadequate disinfection, poor restorations, or recent decay. Regular checkups and good oral hygiene minimize the risk.

Mild sensitivity subsides within 24–72 hours. Severe pain, swelling, or fever requires medical attention.
