What is the actual process carried out in the root canal?
Root canal is the ideal treatment suggested by the professional dentist on infected tooth. Most of the people have the dental problems like tooth pain, tooth abscess, cavities, broken tooth. Actually our tooth are made up of two parts one is visible to us and other is connected to the jaw bone. The inner part is composed of soft tissues called as dental pulp which is at the center of the tooth. Due to some reasons like cavities, or broken tooth or some infection the bacteria enters in the pulp and infects the pulp and tooth becomes abscessed.
Due to this we feel some of the symptoms like our teeth become sensitive to extreme hot or cold whatever we drink or eat or large pain in tooth. At the time of this surgery your dentist gives you a local anesthesia or freezes it. The tooth on which the root canal procedure is being performed is wrapped in thin rubber to prevent further infection. The special drill and small instruments removes the infected pus or bacteria or pulp.
