What is the method of tooth extraction? Have you ever seen the complete removal of the tooth nerve?

Root canal treatment or in colloquial language denervation of the tooth is a dental surgery method that is used to treat infection in the tooth canal. People who brush their teeth carefully also sometimes face tooth decay because there is always a possibility that the debris collected at the junction of the tooth and the gum is not cleaned well by the toothbrush. In this way, microbes slowly destroy the tooth and penetrate deep into it, while the appearance of the tooth looks completely healthy. Root canal treatment is generally not painful and can save a tooth that may be lost and add a few years to the life of that tooth in the person's mouth. **Why does the tooth need nerve extraction?** Infection in the root canal of the tooth is caused by bacteria that live in the mouth and as a result attack the tooth. This treatment is needed after severe tooth decay caused by lack of health care or damage to the teeth as a result of trauma such as falling. **tooth structure** A tooth consists of 2 parts. The crown is the upper part of the tooth that is visible in the mouth and the root that extends to the jawbone and secures the tooth in its position. Also, other tooth components are generally classified into the following sections: 1. Tooth enamel - hard outer covering 2. Dentin - it is a softer material that holds the tooth enamel and forms most of the tooth 3. Cementum - the hard tissue that covers the surface of the root 4. Dental pulp - soft tissue in the center of the tooth (the root canal system contains the dental pulp and extends from the crown of the tooth to the end of the root.) Each tooth can have more than 1 root canal. Posterior teeth have up to 3-4 canals and their innervation is much more complicated. If the tooth has more than 2 nerve canals, the nerve extraction session will be longer. Sometimes, some molars have 5 canals, which makes the dentist need 2 or 3 treatment sessions to remove the nerves. Root canal treatment is necessary when dental x-rays show that the pulp has been damaged by a bacterial infection. The diagnosis of caries reaching the nerve is made by your dentist and in OPG. If the dental pulp is infected by bacteria, it may become inflamed and allow the bacteria to multiply and spread. Symptoms of pulp infection include: 1. Pain when eating or drinking food and cold or hot drinks 2. Pain when biting or chewing 3. Loose teeth 4. Gum swelling near the damaged tooth 5. Discharge of pus from the damaged tooth 6. Swollen cheek or jaw 7. The color of the teeth becomes darker **Dental denervation is harmful during pregnancy?** Toothache is one of the complications during pregnancy that occurs due to many hormonal changes in the mother's body. Tooth extraction during pregnancy will not harm the fetus. But it is better to do it according to the opinion of your gynecologist in the second trimester of pregnancy. The first three months of the fetus are the most vulnerable, and the last three months of pregnancy will be difficult for you to sit on a chair for a long time. **The importance of dental denervation for children** Many parents think that there is no need to root a baby tooth. This is despite the fact that if the milk teeth are severely decayed, they need nerve extraction like normal teeth. In these cases, the dentist tries tooth extraction for children. Usually, with psychological techniques, the fear and stress caused by the treatment process can be removed from children, and there is no need for anesthesia. During this process, the damaged area of ​​the tooth root is cleaned and its surface is filled with special materials. Of course, the denervation process of children's teeth is different from that of adults, and it does not mean removing all the nerves from their teeth. **A repeated question! Is it possible to need nerve extraction without pain? ** Yes! With severe progress of caries and infection, the above symptoms often disappear with the destruction of the pulp. Your tooth then appears to have healed, but the infection has actually spread through the root canal system. By the way, in cases where your tooth needs nerve extraction without pain, it means that you have no time to waste and you should visit your dentist as soon as possible because it is possible that the tooth will be completely lost. **What is the drug recommendation by dentists for tooth infection?** In order to control the infection, the dentist prescribes periodic antibiotic treatments. How is root canal treatment done? If there is a bacterial infection, the dentist will first recommend taking medicine to eliminate the infection. Your dentist's priority is to save the original tooth, so if the tooth can be saved, the root canal treatment process begins. Before root canal treatment, you will usually be injected with a local anesthetic. This means that during root canal treatment you will never notice serious pain and the previous pain will subside. After the pulpotomy and disinfection process, the root canal is filled and the tooth is closed with filling (amalgam or composite) or post and veneer. We have already fully explained about **dental veneers**. Root canal treatment is usually a successful surgery, and in about 9 out of 10 cases, a tooth can survive up to 10 years after root canal treatment. **Recovery period after root canal treatment** It is important to take care of your teeth while the pain subsides after root canal treatment. You should avoid biting solid foods until the treatment is complete. **It is normal if you feel pain for a few days after nerve extraction. Don't worry.** You can use over-the-counter pain relievers such as ibuprofen to relieve any discomfort. If you still have pain or swelling after using painkillers, see a dentist. It is also very important to keep your teeth clean after nerve extraction. Eat very little sweets. If you smoke, quit smoking and learn how to take care of your teeth and gums.
