The Root Canal Treatment Process
Diagnostics & Preparation
Your dentist will begin by performing a comprehensive examination and analyzing your x-rays to pinpoint the source of your dental discomfort. If an infection is detected, they will evaluate its extent to decide if a root canal is required. If a root canal is deemed necessary, your dentist will administer local anesthesia before commencing the procedure and will also talk to you about sedation choices.
Removing Decay & Infected Pulp
Once you are comfortable and fully numb, your dentist will begin by removing any decayed or infected material, starting with the enamel and moving towards the pulp. After extracting the infected pulp, the canals will be cleaned thoroughly and the area will be rinsed with a specialized disinfectant to eliminate any remaining infection.
Filling & Sealing
Once your tooth has been cleaned and sanitized, a rubber-like material known as "gutta-percha" will be used to fill the inside. This substance is inert and assists in preserving the tooth's structure following the removal of the pulp. The tooth will then be restored with a filling or dental crown, depending on the extent of decay and the amount of healthy enamel remaining.
