The nerve of the tooth is removed from the canal inside the root and replaced with a filling material
The removal of the nerve (pulp) from a tooth with a special instrument called a dental reamer (rather like a small dental file). The root is removed, irrigated and shaped. It is then filled with an inert material called Gutta Percha or GP and sealed.
A treatment for the root canal inside the tooth.
The process of treating disease or inflammation of the pulp or root canal. This involves removing the pulp and root's nerve(s) and filling the canal(s) with an appropriate material to permanently seal it.
Inside your tooth, running like a thread through the root, is the pulp. If the pulp is diseased or injured, the pulp tissue dies. If you do not remove it, your tooth gets infected and this can cause intense pain and can lead to a dental abscess. After the dentist removes the pulp, the root canal is cleaned and sealed off to protect it. Then a crown is placed over your tooth to help make it stronger.
