The Root Canal Process with Dr. Appelbaum
Your treatment begins with a thorough examination and diagnostic imaging to assess the extent of the infection. Dr. Appelbaum will then numb the area to ensure your comfort throughout the procedure. Using specialized tools, he will carefully remove the infected or inflamed pulp, clean and disinfect the inside of the tooth, and then fill and seal it to prevent future infection. The final step often involves placing a crown on the treated tooth to restore its strength and appearance.
