Dental Radiograph (X-rays)
Intra-oral dental x-rays before, during, and after the procedure are essential.
Pain Control
Regional Nerve Blocks, just like the novocaine blocks you would receive at the dentist, are one of the tools used to help with pain management .
Pulp Canal Access
A small hole in the corwn of the tooth is made and the pulp canal system is accessed.
Instrumentation
The canals are cleaned and shaped with hand or engine-driven rotary files.
Obturation (Filling)
After the canals are cleaned and dried, they are filled with a material. The filling material is seen in all three roots in the x-ray to the left.
Restoration
A final layer of composite (the white material that is often used for fillings in your own mouth) is placed on the tooth to provide a hard, protective outer layer.A crown could also be considered if needed for extra protection.
