How we perform a root canal at Channel Islands Family Dental Office
Your comfort is our priority. We follow a careful process when performing root canal treatment:
- We examine the affected tooth and take X-rays.
- We apply anesthesia so you do not feel pain. Then we make a small opening in the tooth to reach and remove the nerve.
- We deeply clean the infected canals.
- We fill the canals with a thermoplastic material called gutta-percha, making sure there are no empty spaces and that the entire inside of the tooth is sealed.
- We complete the final restoration to protect the tooth and prevent further damage.
After your root canal, our dentists in Oxnard will give you care instructions and schedule follow-up appointments to evaluate your healing with X-rays.
