Once anethesia is complete, the tooth is opened and the canals identified, cleaned and sterilized before sealing each canal with a sealer material. After treatment, the tooth will typical need a crown to protect it from fracture.

Clean and fill : A root canal is the basically the cleaning out of the contents of the root and pulp space of the tooth and filling it with rubber. The sequence of treatment can be divided into finding the canals, cleaning the canals, and filling the canals.

Root canal: A root canal is similar to having a filling done. You dentist will numb your tooth, put a rubber dam around it to keep it dry and isolated.

An inert rubber compound will be placed into the nerve canals and a filling/crown will be placed over the tooth.
