What Happens During a Root Canal?

During this procedure, Dr. Harless will start by numbing your affected tooth before creating a small hole in its enamel so that she can access the infected pulp. From there, the infected tissue is cleared out before the inside of the tooth is thoroughly cleaned and sanitized. Finally, a customized restoration like a dental crown is placed on the tooth to protect it from future harm—and ultimately, the tooth gets to stay in your mouth and function normally for many years to come!
