Your initial consultation is a great time to ask any questions or voice any concerns you may have.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\"><span class=\"sqsrte-text-color--darkAccent\">Preparation<\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">Once the diagnosis is confirmed and we\u2019ve determined that a root canal is necessary, your dentist will administer a local anesthetic to numb the affected tooth and the surrounding area. This ensures that you\u2019re entirely comfortable and pain-free throughout the procedure.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\"><span class=\"sqsrte-text-color--darkAccent\">Tooth Isolation<\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">To maintain a sterile environment and keep the tooth dry during the procedure, a rubber dam or dental dam is placed around the tooth. This prevents saliva and bacteria from entering the tooth and helps ensure the success of the root canal.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\"><span class=\"sqsrte-text-color--darkAccent\">Access Opening<\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">After the tooth is isolated, your dentist will create a small access opening in the crown of the tooth. This opening provides access to the pulp chamber and root canals.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\"><span class=\"sqsrte-text-color--darkAccent\">Pulp Removal<\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">Using specialized instruments, the infected or damaged pulp is carefully removed from the pulp chamber and the root canals. The dentist ensures that all infected tissue is thoroughly cleaned out.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\"><span class=\"sqsrte-text-color--darkAccent\">Cleaning and Shaping<\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">The next step involves cleaning and shaping the interior of the root canals. This process removes any remaining debris and disinfects the canals to eliminate bacteria. The canals are shaped to accommodate the filling material.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\"><span class=\"sqsrte-text-color--darkAccent\">Filling and Sealing<\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">Once the canals are clean and shaped, they\u2019re filled with a biocompatible material called gutta-percha. This material seals the canals to prevent any future infection. The access opening is then sealed with a temporary or permanent filling.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\"><span class=\"sqsrte-text-color--darkAccent\">Tooth Restoration<\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">After the root canal is completed, the tooth may be weak and susceptible to fracture. In most cases, a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.goehringdental.com\/services\/cosmetic-dentistry\/cerec-same-day-restorations-austin-tx\/\">dental crown<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.goehringdental.com\/services\/cosmetic-dentistry\/tooth-colored-fillings-austin-tx\/\">tooth-colored filling<\/a> is placed over the treated tooth to restore its strength and function. The crown is custom-made to match the color and shape of your natural teeth, ensuring a seamless appearance.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"sqs-block website-component-block sqs-block-website-component sqs-block-html html-block\" data-block-css='[\"https:\/\/definitions.sqspcdn.com\/website-component-definition\/static-assets\/website.components.html\/dafc2011-c3c4-4c97-a6a4-10c79b1c8a5d_720\/website.components.html.styles.css\"]' data-block-scripts='[\"https:\/\/definitions.sqspcdn.com\/website-component-definition\/static-assets\/website.components.html\/dafc2011-c3c4-4c97-a6a4-10c79b1c8a5d_720\/website.components.html.visitor.js\"]' data-block-type=\"1337\" data-definition-name=\"website.components.html\" data-sqsp-block=\"text\" data-website-component-id=\"yui_3_17_2_1_1700600944211_7773\" id=\"block-yui_3_17_2_1_1700600944211_7773\">\n<div class=\"sqs-block-content\">\n<div class=\"sqs-text-block-container\">\n<div class=\"sqs-html-content\" data-sqsp-text-block-content>\n<h2 style=\"text-align:center;white-space:pre-wrap;\"><span class=\"sqsrte-text-highlight\" data-text-attribute-id=\"f3789714-eb2c-4b04-bc03-ee50087fa766\">Trust Your Smile<\/span> to Goehring Dental<\/h2>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">At Goehring Dental, we recognize the concerns and questions you may have regarding root canal therapy.
