Most people have heard of root canal treatment but few know what actually happens. Understanding the process dissolves the fear. Here's exactly what happens at Dr. Jinny's Dental Clinic in Shela.
Step 1: Consultation & Digital X-Ray
X-ray taken to assess infection extent, root anatomy, and plan precise treatment.
Step 2: Local Anaesthesia
Numbing gel applied first, then a fine injection numbs the tooth completely. You feel pressure but no pain.
Step 3: Rubber Dam Placement
A small rubber sheet isolates the tooth — keeping it clean, dry and saliva-free during treatment.
Step 4: Access Opening
Small opening made in the crown of the tooth to reach the pulp chamber.
Step 5: Pulp Removal
Infected pulp carefully removed using fine rotary files. Modern rotary endodontics makes this precise and efficient.
Step 6: Canal Cleaning & Shaping
Each canal precisely shaped and disinfected with antibacterial solution to eliminate all bacteria.
Step 7: Canal Filling
Cleaned canals filled with biocompatible gutta-percha material and sealed hermetically.
Step 8: Crown Placement
Tooth restored with a dental crown — protecting it from fracture and restoring full biting function.
Total Time
45–90 minutes for most teeth. Most patients say it felt no worse than getting a filling. The tooth is numb throughout.
