What Happens During a Root Canal?
During a root canal, the infected or damaged pulp is removed from the inside of your tooth. The area is then cleaned, disinfected, and shaped to prepare for the filling. It’s filled with a biocompatible material and sealed to prevent further infection, and then, in many cases, topped off with a dental crown to restore its strength and function. Root canal treatment helps to save your natural tooth and relieve the pain caused by infection, allowing you to use that tooth and not have to deal with the time and expense of replacing it!
