If tooth decay is detected at an early stage when it begins to form, the vitality of the tooth can be preserved by filling it. If the decay has reached the tooth nerve, there is pain that wakes you up at night, if there is an abscess, cyst, etc., it is necessary to perform root canal treatment on the tooth. It is decided whether the tooth will be filled or canal treated by looking at the x-ray film and performing an intraoral examination.

 

Rubber-dam application: It is very important to isolate the relevant area from blood and saliva during filling and root canal treatments. If saliva or blood leaks during the procedure, the treatment will fail. With rubber dam application, complete isolation is achieved in the relevant area and the quality of the treatment increases.
