How are Root Canals Performed?

Root canals involve removing a damaged pulp from the tooth. The pulp is the soft inside core of the tooth that contains its blood vessels and nerves. Root canals usually require only a few visits to complete four important steps:

  1. Our doctors will numb the area with a local anesthetic so that you can remain comfortable throughout the procedure. Sedation dentistry can also be administered if desired by the patient.
  2. Your dentist will form a small opening in the crown of the infected tooth. He will carefully remove the infected pulp.
  3. Our doctors will thoroughly clean out the area and the surrounding root canals to prevent further infection.
  4. Finally, your doctor will fill the tooth with a rubbery material and seal it with a filling or dental crown.

When your root canal procedure is complete, your toothache will disappear and your smile will become fully functional again.
