Root Canal Procedure Step by Step
By Regency Dental Group Includes video
Let's see what happens during a root canal procedure!
A root canal procedure is extremely safe and one of the best ways to preserve an abscessed or dying tooth. The process itself can be performed with sedation if you want, but local anesthetic may be all that you need. Your dentist will clean the tooth out, seal it off, then top it off with a crown. The overall length and root canal cost will depend on how many roots are involved and what your insurance coverage looks like. The best thing to do is talk to your dentist or endodontist for an itemized care plan!
