What Happens During a Root Canal?
Root canal treatment in Durham typically takes place over the course of two visits to our office. First, Dr. Ulloa will access the interior of your tooth by creating a small window at the top of it. This will allow us to thoroughly clear away the infected pulp within the tooth, which is a collection of nerves and tissue. After sanitizing and thoroughly rinsing the inside of the tooth, we will rebuild its structure using a substance called gutta percha and place a temporary crown on it to protect it. At your second appointment, we will be able to secure your permanent crown to your tooth, which will continue supporting and protecting it from reinfection for years to come.
