Root Canal Treatment Process

What is root canal treatment?

Root canal treatment is an application that removes the infected tissue from the inside of the tooth and the surrounding tissues. The treatment is done in the inner canals of the tooth, that is, in the parts between the pulp and the roots. The doctor may need to take tissue from the surrounding areas. Usually, in root canal treatment, the nerve and pulp are removed. This will often reduce or even completely stop the pain in your tooth, but it may not completely reduce or stop the pain in the infected areas around it.

Anesthetic: In the first stage of the procedure, the tooth and the surrounding gum are anesthetized. A maximum of three separate injections can be administered so that you do not feel pain during the treatment.
Drilling: In the next step, your doctor reaches the inner structures of your tooth. Unfortunately, it is necessary to make a small hole in this area.
Removal: Your dentist uses a set of special materials to remove the nerve and pulp from this hole. After the infection is completely eliminated, your dentist will apply a temporary filling to you. Usually, a special crown is then prepared. The filler is mostly produced from a rubber compound (which fills the void) and a standard filler.
Final stage: The final stage is often a permanent crown, filling, or restorative procedure. If some infectious material still has not been removed from your tooth, you may need a third appointment. Because your doctor leaves the tooth open to allow more drainage.
