What is the Root Canal Process?
Getting a root canal begins with an exam and X-rays to assess the infected tooth. Local anesthesia is applied to ensure comfort. Your dentist then removes the infected pulp from inside the tooth, cleans and disinfects the canal, and shapes it for filling. The space is sealed with a biocompatible material.
A temporary or permanent crown is placed to protect the tooth and restore function, often completed over two visits.
