The mouth will be ready for the root canal by a general dentist. There are several important steps, such as numbing the tooth and the area around it. This step is necessary for the procedure to happen because it gets rid of pain and makes sure the person is comfortable. Most of the time, numbing agents are given as a cream or a shot, and both work well.

During root canal treatment, the infected or damaged parts of the tooth are taken out. Then, a unique tool is used to clean out the whole tooth. This part is very important because it is where the nerves are taken out, which is the most important part of the procedure. Then, the dentist will fill the tooth with rubber Gupta, which is a material that seals the tooth and keeps it from getting any more infected.The tooth that was cracked before needs a temporary crown on top. After the root canal is done, the general dentist will put it in. After a few weeks, the permanent one will be put in.
