Root Canal treatment Complications:

Root canal treatment (endodontic treatment) is a dental procedure that involves removing and cleaning infected or inflamed tissue and nerves from the inside of the tooth. Some complications may occur during or after this procedure. Here are some of the potential complications that may occur after root canal treatment: Pain and Discomfort: Mild to moderate pain and discomfort is normal after root canal treatment. However, in some cases, severe pain may occur. Infection: If treatment is not carried out effectively or the infection of the tooth is not completely cleared, the infection may recur. In this case, swelling, pain and even an abscess may occur around the tooth. Nerve Damage: Nerve damage may occur during or after treatment. In this case, loss of sensation or numbness of the tooth may occur. Root Canal Treatment Failure: In rare cases, root canal treatment may fail. In this case, pain and signs of infection may persist and retreatment or extraction of the tooth may be necessary. Cracked or Broken Tooth: During or after treatment, the tooth may crack or break. In this case, healing and preservation of the tooth may become difficult. Change in Tooth Color After Root Canal Treatment: Changes in tooth color may occur after root canal treatment. This may be caused by the materials inside the tooth affecting the tooth color. In this case, the aesthetic appearance of the tooth may be affected and additional procedures such as whitening may be required. Tissue Damage: During or after treatment, damage to the gums or surrounding tissues is possible. In this case, the healing process may be prolonged and additional treatments may be required. Canal Length Error: During treatment, complications may occur if the canal is not completely cleaned or filled. In this case, the likelihood of the infection continuing increases. Although such complications are rare after root canal treatment, it is important to consult a dentist immediately if any symptoms or problems occur. Professional care and follow-up can help prevent serious problems by ensuring early diagnosis and treatment of potential complications.
