What Happens during the procedure?

It’s important to understand what actually happens during the procedure. First, we use a rubber dam to isolate the tooth and keep it dry. A rubber dam is a small sheet of latex that is placed over the tooth during the root canal treatment. The dam provides a sterile environment and prevents saliva and bacteria from entering the tooth. Additionally, it protects your mouth from any chemicals used during the treatment process.

The rubber dam is fixed in place using small clamps and is held by a frame that sits on the patient’s mouth. This innovative technique helps minimise the risk of infection and makes the process more efficient and comfortable. Once the rubber dam is placed, we can proceed to remove the infected pulp from the tooth looking through highly specialised microscope. The tooth is then cleaned and filled with a special material to prevent further infections from occurring.

Finally, a crown or cap is placed on the tooth to provide an extra layer of protection and ensure its longevity. If your dentist has referred you, we then refer you back to your dentist to perform this task.
