We then place a rubber dam over the tooth to keep it isolated from the rest of your mouth. The decay is removed from the tooth, allowing us to get down deep to the pulp. The pulp is then removed thoroughly and we will clean the canals of the teeth. Once this is done, the canals are filled with a special medicated material before the hole is filled with composite resin. Most root canals take about an hour in the office.
If you think you might need a root canal, call our office today and we will be happy to further assist you.
