Frequently Asked Questions

The words 'root canal' can cause fear and anxiety in many dental patients. However, if you understand that the root canal procedure actually eliminates your pain and saves your tooth, maybe you won’t be quite so reluctant to call your dentist when you experience symptoms.

So, what’s involved with this common dental procedure?

The Root Canal Process Explained

The goal of root canal therapy is to remove the infected or damaged pulp from inside your tooth, saving it from extraction and saving you from more extensive dental procedures.

Here’s what to expect from the procedure:

  • Anaesthesia: The first step is to completely numb your tooth. You won’t feel anything after this point.
  • Accessing the pulp: We’ll make a small opening in your tooth to access the infected area.
  • Removing the infection: Once we’ve accessed the area, we’ll remove the damaged pulp.
  • Cleaning and shaping: Then, we’ll clean and shape your tooth’s roots to eliminate bacteria.
  • Filling and sealing: Using a biocompatible material known as gutta-percha, we’ll seal your tooth to prevent reinfection.
  • Restoration: In many cases, we’ll add a dental crown to restore your tooth’s appearance and durability.
