What Is a Root Canal?
During a standard Root Canal
procedure, it is our goal to remove the infected pulp that may be contributing to your tooth infection and pain. After a local anesthetic has been applied, an opening will be made into the canal of your tooth and the infected tissue will be removed. We will then clean the newly vacant space in your tooth and fill it with a safe material. The type of filling material that is used will depend on the extent of the tooth decay or infection and where in the tooth it is located.
