The Root Canal Procedure: Step-by-Step
- 1
Consultation & X-rays:
Dr. Anderson will examine your tooth, take X-rays, and discuss your symptoms to determine if a root canal is necessary.
- 2
Anesthesia:
Local anesthesia is administered to numb the tooth and surrounding area, ensuring a pain-free experience.
- 3
Accessing the Pulp:
A small opening is made in the crown of the tooth to access the infected or inflamed pulp.
- 4
Cleaning & Shaping:
The damaged pulp is removed, and the root canals are carefully cleaned, disinfected, and shaped.
- 5
Filling the Canals:
The cleaned canals are filled with a biocompatible material, usually gutta-percha, to seal them.
- 6
Restoration:
A temporary filling is placed. You'll typically need a permanent filling or crown to protect the tooth and restore its function.
