Root Canal
ACCESSING THE PULP
To begin, a small access opening is created in the tooth, allowing the dentist access to the infected or damaged pulp.
CLEANING AND SHAPING
The infected or damaged pulp is carefully removed from the tooth’s interior, and the space is thoroughly cleaned and shaped. This step eliminates the source of infection and prepares the tooth for the next crucial phase.
FILLING THE CANAL
Once cleaned, the now empty space is filled with a biocompatible material, typically gutta-percha, to seal the canal and prevent the re-entry of bacteria.
SEALING THE TOOTH
To fortify the tooth and prevent future infections, a permanent filling or crown is placed on top. This not only restores the tooth’s functionality but also ensures a natural appearance
