What Happens During a Root Canal?

The first step, of course, is to numb the tooth and surrounding area before we do anything else. Once you can’t feel anything, we’ll create a small hole in the enamel so we can reach the interior tissue, the source of the pain and infection. We’ll gently clean out the area, sanitize it, and then fill the tooth to restore the structure and stability.

Benefits of Root Canal Treatment

  • Complete Relief: Root canal treatment removes the underlying source of dental pain so it doesn’t come back.
  • Stops Infection: Left untreated, the infection can easily spread into the jaw or even enter the bloodstream, increasing the risk for systemic issues.
  • Avoid Extraction: Getting a root canal is always more affordable compared to removing and replacing a tooth.
  • One Appointment: The procedure can be completed in a single visit, usually in just one to two hours depending on the situation.
