The Root Canal Treatment Process
Diagnostics & Preparation
Your dentist will start by conducting a thorough examination and reviewing your x-rays to identify the cause of your dental pain. If an infection is found, they will assess its severity to determine if a root canal is needed. If a root canal is necessary, your dentist will provide local anesthesia before beginning the procedure and will also discuss sedation options with you.
Removing Decay & Infected Pulp
After ensuring you are comfortable and completely numb, your dentist will start by removing any decayed or infected material. The procedure will begin with the enamel and move towards the pulp. Once the infected pulp is extracted, the canals will be thoroughly cleaned and the area will be rinsed with a specialized disinfectant to eradicate any lingering infection.
Filling & Sealing
After cleaning and sanitizing your tooth, a rubber-like substance called "gutta-percha" will be used to fill the inside. This material is inert and helps maintain the tooth's structure after removing the pulp. Depending on the decay and amount of healthy enamel left, the tooth will be restored with a filling or dental crown.
