Root canal procedure
A
root canal procedure limits the infection and keeps it from destroying
the tooth. During the root canal treatment procedure, the dentist
removes the inflamed or infected tissue, carefully cleans, disinfects,
and shapes the root canal space inside the tooth, and then fills and
seals this space. It may take one or more appointments to complete the procedure. A protective restoration should be placed after root canal treatment has been completed in order to restore the tooth to function and help prevent tooth fracture.
At Total Care Dentistry of Greenville we think of a root canal as washing the invasive bacteria out of the root, filling it with a biocompatible material that soothes the area, then sealing it back up again. Then protect the tooth with a crown, and you're as good as new.
That means you get to keep your tooth. And that's a good thing.
