Nothing is as good as a natural tooth! And sometimes your natural tooth may need root canal (endodontic) treatment for it to remain a healthy part of your mouth. Most patients report that having root canal (endodontic) treatment today is as unremarkable as having a cavity filled.

Root Canal Treatment From Start to Finish 1.  A Deep Infection Root canal treatment is needed when the tooth's root becomes infected or inflamed through injury or advanced decay. 2.  A Route to the Root The tooth is anesthetized. An opening is made through the crown of the tooth to the pulp chamber. 3.  Removing the Infected/Inflamed Tissue Special files are used to clean the infection and unhealthy pulp out of the canals. Irrigation is used to help clean the main canal (called lateral canals). 4.  Filling the Canals The canals are filled with a permanent material, often gutta-percha. This helps to keep the canals free of infection or contamination. 5.  Rebuilding the Tooth A temporary filling material is placed on top of the gutta-percha to seal the opening until the tooth is ready to be prepared for a crown. A crown, sometimes called a cap, is made to look like a natural tooth, and is placed on top. 6.  Extra Support In some cases, a post is placed to give the crown extra support. 7.  The Crowning Touch The crown is cemented into place.
