At the 2nd root canal appointment, your dentist will clean out the infected area and give you a temporary filling. Then, he or she will remove the temporary filling, and will prepare the area for the next step. The next step is the 3rd root canal, which will involve removing all of the remaining infected pulp tissue and then filling the space with a long-lasting root canal filling.
At the second root canal appointment, the dentist will remove the damaged area of the tooth and then place an artificial crown or cap. The tooth will be cleaned and filled with a special substance.
The purpose of a crown is to protect the tooth by covering the filling with a strong cement material. A temporary crown may be placed on the tooth to keep the area free of debris.
At the 2nd root canal appointment, you will be given a prescription for stronger pain medication and your dentist will begin to prepare the tooth. The tooth will be filled with a special material called gutta-percha, which is a mixture of rubber and zinc oxide. Then the tooth will be sealed with special cement. After the tooth is filled, the cavity will be cleaned and dried. Finally, the tooth will be crowned.
