What you need to know about root canal
procedures

A root canal procedure is performed by a specialized dentist known as
an endodontist or a root canal specialist. This is because endodontists
receive extra training to handle dental problems that affect the inside
of your tooth.

Root canal procedures are not painful because your root canal
specialist uses anesthesia to numb the area before starting the
procedure.

During the procedure, your endodontist will remove the inflamed pulp
and thoroughly clean the area which is then filled and sealed using a
rubber-like filling material.

After the procedure, your tooth needs a crown to protect the tooth
and return its functionality.

Mild pain and discomfort after the procedure can be managed at home.
