Root canal treatment (endodontics) is a scientific procedure that relieves pain and saves teeth whose nerves and root canals have been damaged due to decay, trauma, or infection. The expert endodontic team at Melsadent provides precise diagnosis and comfortable treatment using advanced technology. With modern techniques, we minimize pain, eliminate infection, and preserve the tooth’s function for many years. We safely restore healthy smiles and stronger teeth.

Beneath the enamel and dentin layers of the tooth lies the pulp, which contains nerves and blood vessels that keep the tooth alive. This area, called the pulp chamber in the crown of the tooth, extends down to the tip of the roots.
When the pulp becomes inflamed for any reason, the nerve must be removed, the canals sterilized, and then filled.
Patients who need root canal treatment usually experience pain and sensitivity to heat. Tapping on the tooth may cause discomfort. In some cases where no pain is felt, the tooth may already be dead and a lesion may have formed at the root tip. These cases are diagnosed through swelling (abscess) or X-rays. In our clinic, both digital and traditional radiography are used throughout treatment.
Root canal treatment is performed under local anesthesia and is painless. Access is made through the crown of the tooth to reach the pulp and root canals inside the jawbone. Teeth may have one, two, or three canals — and sometimes even more. The procedure involves removing the infected nerves, shaping and disinfecting the canals, and then sealing them. Afterward, the crown is restored according to the level of damage to ensure both aesthetic appearance and proper function.
