  1. Your dentist will use local anesthesia to numb the area surrounding the infected tooth.<\/li>\n
  2. Once the anesthesia kicks in, the dentist drills a hole into the tooth.<\/li>\n
  3. Your dentist will use a small thin cleaning tool that\u00a0fits the hole to take out the abscess\/debris causing the infection. This step repeats\u00a0until the root is cleaned.<\/li>\n
  4. The dentist will now finish up the treatment by disinfecting the newly cleaned tooth and by filling the hole. \u00a0Sometimes, the dentist will use a metal or very strong plastic post in the canals to help retain the tooth.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” bottom_padding=”5%” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” gradient_type=”default” shape_type=””][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_custom_heading text=”Advantages of Dental Root Canal Treatment” font_container=”tag:h3|font_size:40px|text_align:center|color:%23077ada|line_height:50px” google_fonts=”font_family:Montserrat%3Aregular%2C700|font_style:400%20regular%3A400%3Anormal” css=”.vc_custom_1527026650660{padding-bottom: 20px !important;}”][vc_column_text]\n
