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 root canal space inside 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.

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.  Doctors Jen Kin and Chin use the advanced method of nickel titanium rotary instruments to make the process more precise and efficient with a more predictable result. Most often, the root canal can be completed in one appointment. We also use digital x-rays that decrease radiation by fifty percent. Top it off with a solid filling or a crown, and you're as good as new. That means you get to keep your tooth. And that's a good thing.
