What is Root Canal Treatment?



The removal of the infected pulp or the nerves that lies within the root of the tooth. It is this infected pulp tissue that causes pain and ultimately abscess. The endodontist will examine the tooth and x-rays before numbing the area around the affected tooth. First of all access is obtained to the nerve by establishing a small opening in the top of the tooth, under a local anesthesia.

The length of the root canal is determined with the help of small needles and the infected pulp is removed.After that, the canals where the nerve is located are reshaped and prepared to accept a special root canal filling material. The number of visits necessary to complete your root canal will depend upon the infected state of the nerve, and the complexity of the procedure.
