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 starting the procedure and will 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, beginning with the enamel and progressing towards the pulp. Once the infected pulp is removed, the canals will be meticulously cleaned and the area will be rinsed with a specialized disinfectant to eradicate any lingering infection.
Filling & Sealing
After your tooth is cleaned and sanitized, a rubber-like material called "gutta-percha" will be used to fill the inside. This substance is inert and helps maintain the tooth's structure after the pulp is removed. Finally, the tooth will be restored with a filling or dental crown, depending on the level of decay and the amount of healthy enamel left.
