What is root canal treatment? Simply put, when the dental pulp (commonly known as "tooth nerve") becomes inflamed, infected or even necrotic due to deep caries, tooth cracks, trauma, periodontal disease or other reasons, dentists completely remove these infected substances, clean and disinfect the root canal system, and finally obturate it as a therapeutic method.

Root Canal Treatment Processes

1st Visit: Local anesthesia administration, access opening,  pulp extirpation, initial root canal preparation, intracanal medication 

   placement, and temporary restoration to control infection.

2nd Visit: Removal of temporary filling, infection assessment, final root canal preparation and disinfection, followed by root canal      obturation to seal the root canal system.

3rd Visit: Evaluation of obturation effect, resin restoration for tooth defect, occlusal adjustment, and completion of treatment.

With Post and Core Crown (5 Visits)

1st Visit: Local anesthesia, access opening, pulp extirpation,initial root canal preparation, disinfection, and temporary sealing (same      as the 1st visit without post and core crown).
