Question:
After the FIRST session of a root canal, do they go near the roots again?
I mean, do they dig out the temp till they reach the root again, or do they just work over it?
(I'm scared of them getting near my now gone root :P)
Answers:
In the first session they dig out the infected root and place a patch over the exposed dug out tooth.
In the second sessions they will pull the plug out of the tooth but won't go digging again. They will place a glue in there and place your crown on top sealing it permanently.
They will also shape your crown as necessary for fit.
