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
canal space inside the roots of 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 University Associates in Dentistry 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.
This procedure will eliminate infection in your tooth, as
well as intense nerve pain.
