The Procedure Explained
When the nerve tissue or pulp inside a tooth becomes inflamed or infected (due to deep decay, repeated dental procedures, or a crack), it must be removed to save the tooth and prevent the infection from spreading.1. **Anesthesia:** We ensure the tooth and surrounding area are completely numb.
2. **Removal:** The infected pulp is carefully removed.
3. **Cleaning:** The inside of the tooth is meticulously cleaned and disinfected using advanced rotary endodontics for maximum precision.
4. **Sealing:** The tooth is filled and sealed with a rubber-like material.
5. **Restoration:** Finally, a crown is placed over the tooth to protect it and restore it to full function.
