An opening is made through the crown into the pulp. ( Your tooth may be numbed prior to this procedure ) The diseased pulp is then carefully removed. The root canal area inside your tooth is cleaned, enlarged and shaped. Then, depending on your individual case, the root canal(s) and pulp chamber may be permanently filled and sealed. In some cases, however, a temporary medication is placed in the tooth to control bacterial growth and reduce infection. Most often, a provisional filling is placed in the opening of the tooth until the next visit. In some cases, however, the tooth may be left open. This allows infections to drain. At the next appointment, the inside of the tooth is sterilized to remove any remaining bacteria. Throughout the root canal procedure we take X-rays to ensue that all of the infected pulp is removed and that the walls inside the canal are smooth. Then the root canal and pulp chamber are permanently filled and sealed. Finally, the tooth is fully restored to chewing functions - most often with a full crown.
