What is root canal treatment?

A root canal treatment consists of emptying the inside of the tooth, removing at the same time the pulp or the nerve, cleaning this empty space and filling it. It's like a filling, but deeper. The tooth can then be compared to an empty, clean Easter egg.

  • When the decay reaches the nerve, the bacteria contaminate the nerve and the nerve eventually becomes infected.

Root canal treatment is completed by sealing the canals with gutta percha, a rubber material that will prevent bacteria from returning to the canals.

Filling

Following the root canal treatment, a composite restoration (white filling) is required to reconstruct the tooth and seal it.
