Mediglobe collaborates with Dental clinics and hospitals in Turkey for Root Canal Treatment

A root canal treatment (RCT) is a common dental procedure designed to save a severely infected or damaged tooth. Despite its reputation for being painful, modern dentistry has made the process relatively comfortable with advanced techniques and anaesthesia. Therefore, Mediglobe recommends affordable, high-quality treatments. Moreover, Mediglobe is in cooperation with dental clinics and hospitals in Turkey that work to European and American standards and have accreditation.

What is a Root Canal Treatment?

A root canal is a dental procedure that removes infected or inflamed pulp (the soft tissue inside the tooth containing nerves and blood vessels). The tooth is then cleaned, disinfected, and sealed to prevent further infection. Mediglobe recommends you a Dental Treatment package according to your needs.

Why is it Necessary?

• Deep decay (untreated cavities reaching the pulp)
• Cracked or chipped tooth (exposing the pulp)
• Repeated dental procedures on the same tooth
• Trauma (injury damaging the tooth’s nerve)
• Abscess (infection at the tooth’s root)

If left untreated, the infection can spread, leading to severe pain, swelling, bone loss, or even tooth loss.

Signs You Might Need a Root Canal

Severe toothache (especially when chewing or applying pressure). Prolonged sensitivity to hot or cold. Swollen, tender gums near the affected tooth. Darkening or discoloration of the tooth. Pimple-like bump on the gums (abscess). Bad taste or Odor from the infected area. Some cases may have no symptoms, which is why regular dental check-ups are crucial. Mediglobe collaborates modern dental clinics and hospitals with Turkey, experienced specialists, and recommend personalised treatment plans.

Root Canal Procedure: Step-by-Step

1. Examination & X-ray: Our dentist examines the tooth and takes an X-ray to assess infection and root structure.
2. Local Anaesthesia: The area is numbed to ensure a pain-free procedure.
3. Access Opening: A small hole is drilled into the tooth to reach the infected pulp.
4. Cleaning & Disinfection: Our dentist removes the damaged pulp, cleans the root canals, and applies antibacterial solutions.
5. Filling & Sealing: The empty canals are filled with a rubber-like material (gutta-percha) and sealed.
6. Restoration (Crown or Filling): Since the tooth becomes brittle, a crown or filling is placed to restore strength and function.
7. Duration: Typically, 1-2 visits (depending on complexity).

Does a Root Canal Hurt?

• During the procedure: No, due to anaesthesia.
• After the procedure: Mild discomfort or sensitivity for a few days (manageable with OTC painkillers).

Myth Busted: Modern root canals are not painful—they relieve pain caused by infection!

Recovery & Aftercare

✔ Avoid chewing on the treated tooth until fully restored.
✔ Maintain oral hygiene (brush, floss, and rinse with salt water).
✔ Take prescribed antibiotics (if infection was severe).
✔ Follow up for crown placement (if needed).

Healing Time: A few days to a week (most patients resume normal activities immediately).

Possible Risks & Complications

• Incomplete cleaning: reinfection (may require retreatment).
• Cracked tooth: may need extraction if too damaged.
• Discoloration: can be fixed with whitening or veneers.

Alternatives to Root Canal

• Tooth extraction (and treatment it with an implant / bridge).
• Pulp capping (only for minor pulp exposure).

Note: Saving your natural tooth is usually the best option!

How Long Does a Root Canal Last?

• With proper care, a treated tooth can last a lifetime.
• Success rate: Mediglobe cooperates with dental clinics and hospitals in Turkey with high success rates for Dental Root Canal treatment (Root canal treatment is highly successful, with general success rates cited between 85% and 97%).
