The treatment includes the filling and sealing of the tooth so that no further decay or damage can occur. Another reason for having a root canal is to repair teeth that have been affected by an abscess. It is a treatment that can save a tooth which has been severely damaged, so that it doesn’t have to be extracted. ## What Happens During the Treatment? A root canal dentist creates a small hole in the damaged tooth in order to remove all the infected parts. It will be the dental pulp that gets removed and sometimes the root. There is no need to worry about losing the root as it is only used to feel sensations such as hot and cold and for the tooth to grow in. Removal of the root is in no way detrimental to the tooth. Removing it will prevent the infection from spreading. When the removal is finished, the area will be cleaned. It is also usual for antibiotics to be prescribed to ensire the infection is completely eliminated. When the area has been cleaned of the infection, the hole is sealed up. A substance called gutta-percha is used. It is a rubber-like substance that stabilizes the tooth. For further strength and to protect the tooth, a filling or crown will be used. These will be a tooth-color, so that they blend seamlessly with the teeth around it.
