What Is a Root Canal?
What Is a Root Canal Treatment Like?
First, we want to reassure patients that a root canal is not the painful or frightening procedure many people fear it is. Instead, it is typically as comfortable as getting a routine dental filling. During root canal treatment, your dental specialist will first check the root of the affected tooth to assess the degree of damage. If a root canal treatment is necessary, we will then use a local anesthetic to numb the area and make sure you are comfortable throughout the procedure. Next, a small hole is drilled into the root of the tooth in order to access the root’s infected or damaged area. The root canal is then cleaned and filled with a filling material. Finally, your dental specialist will place a dental crown over the root to provide additional protection and prevent further damage. That is all there is to it, and we ensure that our patients are fully comfortable every step of the way.
