What Happens During a Root Canal?
The procedure begins with local anesthesia to ensure you're fully comfortable throughout. Once the area is numb, we access the interior of the tooth to remove the infected or inflamed pulp, which is the soft tissue inside the root canals that has become damaged. The canals are then carefully cleaned, shaped, and sealed to prevent any future infection. In most cases, a crown is placed over the tooth afterward to restore its strength and protect it long-term.
