What Happens During a Root Canal?

Root canals require a multi-step process that must be followed if successful results are to be achieved. Once Dr. Burton clears you for treatment, she will begin by:

  • Administering local anesthesia to numb the tooth and its surrounding area.
  • Placing a latex dental dam to isolate the tooth so that moisture does not come into contact with it.
  • Creating a small hole in the crown of the tooth so that specialized instruments can be used to access the pulp chamber and root canals.
  • Clearing out infected and diseased portions as well as removing the pulp, which is the culprit behind your pain.
  • Filling the tooth with gutta-percha, a biocompatible solution that fills the inner chamber of the tooth.
  • Sealing the tooth so that future reinfection does not occur.
  • Placing a custom-made dental crown over the treated tooth so that it can be used as normal.
