What Happens During a Root Canal?
During a root canal, Dr. Critz opens a tiny hole to access the inside of your tooth, then removes the infected or damaged pulp. She’ll carefully clean and shape the root canals before sealing them with a special rubbery material called gutta-percha. The tooth is then restored, typically with a crown, to protect it and restore full function. Despite how it sounds, most patients are surprised by how manageable the experience is!
