In what cases should root canal treatment be applied?

The most common conditions that require root canal treatment are deep caries and cracks in the dental bone. In cases where the tooth is too damaged to heal, the pulp is removed to protect the tooth. Therefore, the biggest advantage of root canal treatment is to save the dead tooth and not lose the bone structure of the tooth. Some symptoms of conditions requiring root canal treatment can be listed as follows:

• Swelling on face and neck

• Persistent tooth sensitivity, especially to hot or cold

• Pain when chewing or biting

• Acne-like scar formation on the gums

• Cracked teeth

• Swelling of the gums

• Referred toothache

• Deep bruises

• Darkened gums
