A root canal procedure will last about an hour. The patient will be given an anesthetic to numb the area. Then the dentist will remove the infected pulp from the tooth. This will be done with a special tool called a drill. Then the dentist will clean out the empty space that the pulp has been removed from. After this is finished, the dentist will fill the empty space with a special type of material called gutta percha. After the filling is finished, the dentist will place a crown on top of the tooth.
A root canal takes an average of 3 hours. It is best to make sure that you have your appointment scheduled before you go to the dentist.
A root canal procedure can be performed on a tooth with a broken or decayed pulp chamber or root canals. In the case of a broken pulp chamber, a root canal procedure can be performed to repair the damage and prevent further infection. If the tooth has only one root canal, a root canal procedure can be performed to remove the infected portion of the root. In the case of a tooth with multiple root canals, a root canal procedure can be performed to remove the infected portion of each root. The entire process takes about an hour to complete.
