If it is determined that you need a root canal treatment, we will schedule 1 or 2 appointments based on the size and duration of an abscess and other factors.
A dental dam is placed on the infected site to isolate the affected area.
A small opening is made through the top of the tooth to gain access to the pulp.
The pulp, which is the soft tissue inside the root canal, is removed from the chamber and canals.
The canals are then cleaned with a disinfecting solution. X-rays may be taken throughout the procedure to ensure each canal is being treated.
