Reasons to Have a Root Canal Procedure

• Improve the appearance of the tooth
• Reduce the risk of further tooth decay
• Restore normal tooth function
• Save the natural tooth
  

The Root Canal Process

First, X-rays of the infected tooth are taken to see what’s going on below the surface. Next, the treatment site is numbed and a dental dam or small protective sheet is placed over the treatment area to protect it from saliva and bacteria during the procedure. 

Then the dentist makes a small incision near the tooth’s crown to expose the infected pulp before removing all infected tissue and cleaning out the pathways. Once the canals are clean, the dentist may apply a topical antibiotic to kill any remaining infection. The tooth is then filled and sealed. 

A crown or another type of restoration is applied to protect the tooth and restore function. 

If damage to the tooth is too severe, the tooth may have to be extracted.
