The Root Canal Treatment Process
Diagnostics & Preparation
To find the source of your dental pain, your endodontist will begin by performing a comprehensive exam and review of your x-rays to get a complete picture of your oral health. If your tooth is infected, they will determine the extent of the infection to decide if root canal therapy will be an effective treatment.
If you end up needing a root canal, your endodontist will begin the therapy by numbing the treatment site, all the way down to the nerves. Your endodontist will discuss sedation options with you before starting the procedure.
Removing Decay & Infected Pulp
Once you’re comfortable and fully numbed, your endodontist will begin the process of removing any decayed or infected material. Beginning with the enamel, your endodontist will move inwards, toward the pulp. Once the infected pulp has been cleared out, the canals will be cleaned with a special disinfectant to eliminate any remaining infection.
Filling & Sealing
Once your tooth has been completely cleaned and sanitized, the interior will be filled with a rubber-like material called gutta-percha. An inert material, gutta-percha replaces the extracted pulp and helps support the tooth and maintain its structure. Once the interior of the tooth has been filled, it will be restored with a temporary filling to protect the tooth until a permanent restoration is placed by a general dentist.
