The Root Canal Treatment Process
Diagnostics & Preparation
Your dentist will begin with a comprehensive examination and review of 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. Should a root canal be necessary, your dentist will administer local anesthesia before commencing the procedure and will discuss sedation choices with you.
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 the infected pulp is removed, the canals will be thoroughly cleaned 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 aids in preserving the tooth's structure after the pulp has been removed. To complete the procedure, the tooth will be restored with either a filling or dental crown, depending on the extent of decay and the remaining healthy enamel.
