The Root Canal Process
The process of getting a root canal can typically be broken down into two parts. First, Dr. Patel will access the inner chamber of the infected tooth to get to the pulp, which is a collection of nerves and soft tissues. He’ll remove the damaged pulp and sanitize the chamber, ensuring that no bacteria linger, before filling the tooth with a substance called gutta-percha. Second, he’ll top the treated tooth off with a customized dental crown to provide it with added support and protection.
