Emergency Root Canal Procedure
In root canal treatment, the dentist removes the inflamed or infected pulp. Some people think the root canal process is painful. However, prior to root canal treatment, local anesthesia is administered, which means that the root canal is not a painful procedure, and you are comfortable during the treatment.
Then a dental dam, which is a small protective sheet, is put in your mouth. It has a hole that isolates the affected tooth from the mouth. It keeps the saliva and other substances in the mouth away from the tooth. After that, our emergency dentist drills through the crown and opens the tooth. Therefore, he can insert the dental instruments into the tooth to remove the damaged pulp tissue and clean the root canal.
These canals are disinfected with antibacterial solutions and are prepared for receiving the fillings. The common type of root canal filling is gutta-percha. Our emergency dentist fills the canal space and seals them to prevent infection. Then, he places a metal or plastic post in the tooth and removes the dental dam.
An antibiotic may be prescribed in order to avoid infection. After the procedure, it is normal to have minor discomfort that can be controlled with prescribed painkillers. In the final step, our emergency dentist replaces the lost tooth structure with a dental crown or fillings to protect the tooth from future damages. Please do not put pressure on the tooth until you receive the crown. You have to follow the emergency dentist’s instructions carefully and practice good oral hygiene.
