Do you have a throbbing, aching tooth that wakes you up at night?
Perhaps it's time to hear the most dreaded sentence:

This tooth requires root canal treatment...

But don't worry.
With advancing technology, local anesthesia, and expert dentists, root canal treatment is now not a painful procedure, but one that ends the pain.

In this article, we answer all your questions about root canal treatment — both technically and with real patient reviews.

What is Root Canal Treatment?

The innermost part of the tooth contains tissue called the pulp, which houses nerves and blood vessels.
When decay progresses to this area, a filling is no longer sufficient and root canal treatment is required.

In this process:

• The decayed, inflamed nerve tissue is removed.

• The root canals of the tooth are sterilised.

• The resulting void is filled with special filling materials.

• If necessary, a crown is placed over the tooth.

📌 Objective: To restore the infected tooth to a healthy and functional state without extraction.

“Does Root Canal Treatment Hurt?” – Real Patient Experiences

Serkan T. (41):

“I couldn't even eat because of the pain. I didn't feel a thing during the treatment. The thing I was most afraid of turned out to be the most comfortable procedure.”

Yasemin E. (35):

"I was waking up in the middle of the night. My pain was gone after two sessions, and now I'm glad I never had my tooth extracted. I wish I'd come sooner!"

Thanks to the local anaesthesia used at Yakup Andaç Dent, digital measurement devices and modern single-session approaches, no pain is felt during treatment.

When is Root Canal Treatment Necessary?

If you have the following symptoms, you are likely to need root canal treatment:

• Severe and throbbing pain

• Increasing toothache at night

• Sensitivity to hot and cold

• Discolouration of the tooth

• Swelling or inflammation of the gums

• Spontaneous toothache

If you are experiencing these symptoms, don't just say "it will pass"—consult a specialist immediately.
Because root canal treatment may no longer be possible if delayed, and the tooth may have to be extracted.

How Many Sessions Does Root Canal Treatment Take?

At Yakup Andaç Dent, most root canal treatments are completed in a single session.
However, 2 or 3 sessions may be required depending on the condition of the tooth, the infection rate, and the root structure.

In any case, the aim is:

• To completely clear the infection

• Eliminate the pain completely

• Keeping teeth healthy for many years
