During a root canal treatment, the dentist or endodontist (a specialist in root canal procedures) will perform the following steps:

Local Anesthesia: The dentist will administer local anesthesia to numb the area around the affected tooth, ensuring you don’t feel any pain during the procedure.

Accessing the Pulp Chamber: The dentist will create a small opening in the tooth’s crown to access the dental pulp and root canals.

Removing the Infected Pulp: The dentist will carefully remove the diseased or damaged dental pulp from the root canals using specialized tools. After that, the canals are cleaned and prepared for filling.

Cleaning and Disinfection: The root canals are thoroughly cleaned and disinfected to remove bacteria and debris.

Filling the Root Canals: After cleaning, the dentist fills the root canals with a biocompatible material, typically gutta-percha. This filling material seals the canals to prevent future infection

Sealing the Tooth: The access opening in the tooth’s crown is sealed with a temporary or permanent filling material.

Restoring the Tooth: In many cases, a dental crown is placed over the treated tooth to protect it and restore its strength and appearance.

The entire root canal procedure is usually completed in one or two visits, depending on the complexity of the case and the tooth’s condition. After the root canal treatment, the tooth should function normally, free from the pain or infection that prompted the procedure. To restore the tooth with the crown two visits will be required
