How Root Canal Therapy Works
During the root canal therapy procedure, we use special tools to access the innermost portion of a tooth (the pulp). Then, we clean out the infected or damaged area and remove the tooth’s nerve, which was the primary cause of root canal-related pain. Then, we fill in the tooth with a material called gutta percha to help it maintain its structure. Finally, we may place a crown to protect the treated tooth from further harm. Anesthesia, along with sedation if requested, maximizes patient comfort throughout the treatment process.
