What Happens During a Root Canal?
Once it is decided that you need a root canal, we will isolate the tooth using a dental dam. Ensuring that the remaining teeth and soft tissues are not in the way, Dr. Hakwati will begin by administering local anesthesia to numb the desired area. He will then make a small opening in the crown of the affected tooth, exposing the inner layers until reaching the pulp.
Slowly, he will begin to clear away any damaged or decayed portions of the tooth, including the canals, before filling the tooth with a solution known as gutta-percha. Once filled, the tooth will be sealed to prevent reinfection. When ready, a customized dental crown will be placed over the vulnerable tooth to protect it from further damage or future reinfection.
