A root canal procedure involves the removal of the soft center of the tooth and the pulp. This pulp is made of nerves, connective tissues, and blood vessels that helps the tooth to grow. Firstly we ensure first to number the area with the help of local anesthesia into the gums and tooth root. After this cleaning process is carried out of the pulp chamber and root canals, then we’ll shape the canals with the help of a small tool and make them ready to receive the filling material. The last process would be done to fill the area to prevent bacteria from entering the tooth.
