How is the root canal done?
With local anesthetics, your tooth is rendered “numb”. The tooth is isolated with a rubber shield that keeps the bacteria of your mouth out of the tooth, and removes the risk of accidentally swallowing small instruments or disinfecting solutions. A small access cavity is prepared in the tooth to expose the canals. Using small instruments, the canals are measured, cleaned and enlarged. When shaping of the canals is complete, the canals are filled with a warm rubber material that seals the empty space.
