When a tooth is severely decayed, infected, or broken, a root canal procedure can often save the tooth and extend its life for many more years.
To complete a root canal procedure, the dentist will access the pulp chamber in the crown of the tooth and reveal the root canals contained in the roots of the tooth. The dentist will then remove the infected nerve and shape the canals using special files to smooth the walls and ensure no pulp tissue or infection is left. The canals are then filled with a special material that seals off the root canals.
After a root canal procedure, the tooth can become brittle and to protect the tooth from fracture, it's often recommended that a crown be applied over the affected tooth.
