What is a Root Canal?
Root canal treatment is the process of removing infected or injured tissue (pulp) from inside the tooth. Untreated cavities or serious dental injuries can lead to severe pulp infection or damage. Once the pulp is damaged, it is not able to heal itself.
The root canal procedure removes this pulp from the tooth to preserve the tooth. After the pulp is removed, the canal is disinfected, shaped, filled, and sealed with a natural rubber-like material called gutta-percha. The opening of the tooth is then sealed with either a temporary or permanent filling to prevent future infection.
Root Canal Procedure in Toronto, ON
- The first step is numbing the area. We make sure you are comfortable and won’t have any pain.
- Then, the dentist places a rubber sheet over your mouth to keep moisture out.
- The next step is to create an opening through your tooth crown to the pulp of the tooth.
- The dentist removes the damaged pulp/nerve from the pulp chamber and root canal.
- Before filling the canal, the dentist carefully cleans and shapes it.
- If you had an infection, the dentist may apply medicine to the pulp chamber to fight off bacteria.
- At this point, the dentist fills the root canal with a rubber material and seals it.
- Most often, you’ll receive a temporary filling and antibiotics.
- When you return for the next visit, the dentist takes out the temporary filling. They then place a tooth crown or filling to restore your tooth.
