What to expect during a root canal?

If you think you need a root canal, consult your dentist. There are a number of steps that occur over a few office visits.

• X-ray If a dentist suspects you may need a root canal, he will first take X-rays or examine existing X-rays to show where the decay is located.
• Anesthesia Our main aim is patient’s comfort. local anesthesia(numbing of tooth) is administered to the affected tooth. Contrary to popular belief, a root canal is no more painful than a filling.
• Pulpectomy An opening is made and the diseased tooth pulp is removed.
• Filling The roots opened (to get rid of the disease pulp) are filled with gutta percha material and sealed off with cement.
• Crowning/Capping of the Root Canal Treated tooth The root Canal treated tooth can still fracture if not capped with a ceramic crown, which can help to increase the life of the tooth
