Procedural Steps Of Root Canal Treatment:

Initial Step 

After isolating the treatment area, the dentist will first remove the decay. You can see that they are drilling the tooth just like they would during a routine filling procedure when a cavity is being removed.

Exploring and Root Canal Preparation 

Next, they may use an explorer to check the area, make sure the nerve is ready for root canal therapy. If it’s ready, then it’s time for the root canal prep and the files. The RC prep helps lubricate the canal so the hand files can go down into the canal. 

Locating the Tip (Apex) 

Sometimes they will also use an apex locator machine that it attaches to. You’ll normally hear a beeping sound during this part, and it helps the dentist locate the apex—again the apex aka also known as the tip of the root.

Cleaning 

Hypochlorite is used. This is a cleaning solution that cleans and lubricates the area. And ultrasonic also might be used to get straight-line access down to the root tip so that the files won’t bind.

Further Cleaning 

Further cleansing is done to open up the pores inside of the canal, the little channels that get blocked up from when they were filled. There are bacteria and the nerve and stuff, so they need to open those up now and clean them out.

Filling and Sealing 

The canals are filled with a biocompatible material to seal them and to prevent reinfection. 

Recovery and Aftercare:

• Try to make sure you avoid chewing on the side of your mouth with the root canal, especially for the first 30 minutes after your appointment.
• Be sure you’re brushing and flossing around each of your teeth daily, even the tooth that had the root canal
• If you are having discomfort, generally any discomfort will be best managed with an over-the-counter pain reliever and/or an anti-inflammatory, as instructed by your dentist.
• A cool compress helps, and rinsing with warm salt water also provides relief.
• Mild soreness can be expected after a root canal procedure, and it should get better every hour and every minute as your tooth heals.
• Always call your dentist’s office if you experience anything opposite of healing.
