A root canal is a safe and effective procedure designed to save a damaged or infected tooth and eliminate pain.

Here’s how it works:

Numbing the Area: First, we use a local anesthetic to completely numb your tooth and surrounding area, so you won’t feel any pain during the procedure.

Accessing the Tooth’s Interior: A small opening is made in the top of the tooth to reach the infected or inflamed pulp(the soft tissue inside your tooth that contains nerves and blood vessels).

Removing the Infected Tissue: Using specialized tools, the damaged or infected pulp is carefully removed, which stops the pain and prevents infection from spreading.

Cleaning and Shaping the Canals: The inside of the tooth’s root canals is thoroughly cleaned, shaped, and disinfected to ensure no bacteria remain.

Filling the Canals: Once clean, the empty canals are filled with a biocompatible material called gutta-percha, which seals the space and prevents future infection.

Restoring the Tooth: Finally, the tooth is sealed with a temporary or permanent filling, and in most cases, a dental crown is placed later to protect and strengthen the tooth.
