Root
Canal in Turkey

Most modern endodontic treatments are efficiently completed in a single visit, typically lasting between 60 and 90 minutes. The exact duration depends largely on the specific area being restored, as larger back molars naturally have more complex internal pathways that require careful cleaning and sealing.

Thanks to highly advanced local anesthetics, the procedure itself feels very similar to getting a standard cavity filled. In fact, the primary goal of the treatment is to provide immediate relief from the pain caused by deep inflammation. A little mild soreness for a few days afterward is perfectly normal and easily managed with standard over-the-counter options.

It is highly recommended to wait until the numbness completely wears off before having a full meal, simply to prevent accidentally biting the cheek or tongue. Once full feeling returns, sticking to soft foods and chewing on the opposite side of the mouth for the first few days helps protect the freshly treated area as it settles.

Yes, getting behind the wheel is completely safe. Because the treatment relies entirely on local anesthesia to numb a specific area, overall alertness and motor skills remain unaffected. Leaving the clinic and seamlessly returning to normal daily activities, including driving, can happen immediately after the appointment.

Our specialists recommend a root canal if the inner pulp is infected or irreversibly damaged. Your dentist will suggest this treatment if:

• Irreversible Pulpitis: A continuous, severe toothache caused by extreme inflammation.
• Deep Decay: Extensive cavities that have reached the nerve through the enamel and dentin layers.
• Dental Trauma: Major cracks or breaks that expose the dental pulp inside.
• Abscess Formation: Swelling or infection around the root tip that can cause bone damage.
