The Root Canal Procedure
The procedure typically takes place over the course of two appointments. During the first visit, Dr. Markle will access the inner chamber of your tooth using a special instrument called a bur. Once inside the inner chamber, he will remove the infected pulp that’s causing you pain and sanitize the area to get rid of any lingering bacteria. To rebuild the structure of your tooth, he’ll fill it with a moldable substance called gutta-percha and top it off with a customized dental crown during a second appointment.
