The Root Canal Procedure
After administering the proper level of dental anesthesia, we’ll place a rubber dam around your tooth so that the area stays free of saliva while we work. After making a small access hole in the enamel, the decayed tissue inside the tooth will be removed. We’ll need to clean the full length of the tooth in order to ensure that all of the bacteria are taken out so that a new infection doesn’t form. The tooth will then be permanently sealed and then covered with a dental crown to restore its strength and protect it from bacteria.
