Root canals often have a reputation for being painful, but at Molar Magic, we ensure that this essential treatment is as comfortable and stress-free as possible. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you understand what to expect during a root canal:
- The Initial Consultation
Your dentist will first examine your tooth and may take X-rays to assess the extent of the infection or damage. Once confirmed, the procedure will be scheduled, and you’ll receive all necessary information. - Preparing for the Procedure
On the day of the treatment, a local anesthetic will be applied to numb the area. This ensures you won’t feel any pain during the procedure. - Removing the Infection
Your dentist will create a small opening in the affected tooth to access the infected pulp. Using specialized tools, the damaged tissue is carefully removed, and the area is thoroughly cleaned to eliminate bacteria. - Filling and Sealing the Tooth
Once the tooth is cleaned, it is filled with a biocompatible material to prevent future infections. The opening is then sealed to protect the tooth. - Restoration and Aftercare
In most cases, a crown is placed over the treated tooth to restore its strength and function. You’ll be given post-treatment care instructions to ensure a smooth recovery.
