The Root Canal Treatment Process
Diagnostics & Preparation
Diagnostics & Preparation
Your endodontist will begin with a comprehensive examination of your tooth and x-rays to identify the cause of your dental discomfort. If an infection is present, they'll assess its severity to determine if a root canal is the appropriate treatment option. If root canal therapy is necessary, your endodontist will ensure the treatment area is completely numb, including the nerves.
Removing Decay & Infected Pulp
Removing Decay & Infected Pulp
Once you're fully numbed and comfortable, your endodontist will begin the process of removing decayed or infected material. They'll start from the outermost layer of enamel and work their way towards the inner pulp. After removing the infected pulp, the canals will be thoroughly cleaned and flushed with a specialized disinfectant to eliminate any remaining infection.
Filling & Sealing
Filling & Sealing
After cleaning and disinfecting your tooth, your endodontist will fill the root canal with a rubbery substance called "gutta-percha". This biocompatible material provides support to the tooth and replaces the extracted pulp.
Root canal treatment is only one step in returning your tooth to full function. A proper final restoration of the tooth is extremely important in ensuring long term success.
