What Happens During a Root Canal?

When faced with a root canal, our dentists will begin by cleaning the oral cavity before placing a dental dam over the vulnerable tooth, effectively isolating it from the rest of your smile. Once local anesthesia is administered, he will make an opening in the crown of the tooth, exposing the inner structure.

After clearing out the infected or damaged pulp, he will clear the nearby canals so that no bacteria remain. Once this is completed, he will use a substance known as gutta-percha to fill the tooth and seal it off from future reinfection. A customized dental crown will then be created to fit over the vulnerable tooth, protecting it as it strengthens over time.

Because it can take several weeks for the permanent crown to be created, you will need to wear a temporary one in the meantime.
