How is the Root Canal Treatment performed?

The dentist initiates the root canal rpocedure by making a small hole in the infected tooth. It helps to access the infected pulp and nerves. The dentist removes them with a dental tool which helps to prevent the infection from spreading to the other parts of the mouth. 

Removing them does not cause any harm to the patient. The dentist cleans and disinfects the site, which helps to ensure that the infection is completely gone. The dentist also prescribes antibiotic, which helps to remove the infection completely from the teeth. 

The hole created on the infected tooth should be sealed to eliminate the chances of any further chances of infection. The dentist performs dental filling, which involves filling the tooth with materials of the patient's choice.  This process helps to stabilize the tooth and restore it. 

The dentist advises regular dental checkups to maintain the fillings. The patient should also follow good dental health to maintain good dental hygiene. Root Canal is an excellent dental rpocedure that helps to save the patient from dental complications that are involved in tooth decay.
