Causes of a Root Canal
There are several potential causes of inflammation or infection of the pulp of the tooth, including:- extensive decay
- repeated dental procedures
- a cracked or chipped tooth
Root Canal Process
Should a root canal be necessary the dentist will use local anesthesia to numb the area surrounding the effected tooth. He or she will then make a very small opening in the tooth and proceed to clean out the root canal space. The tooth is then sealed with a bio-compatible material and specialized cement.To learn more or to schedule an appointment please call the Raleigh NC Dentists at 919-782-0548.
