Endodontic treatment often requires one to three visits. During treatment, Dr. Bernstein will remove the diseased pulp. The pulp chamber and root canal of the tooth will be cleaned and sealed.

Here is our treatment process:

First, an opening is made through the crown of the tooth into the pulp chamber.
The pulp is then removed. The root canal is cleaned and shaped to a form that can be filled. 
Medications may be put in the pulp chamber and root canal to help get rid of germs and prevent infection.
A temporary filling will be placed in the crown opening to protect the tooth between dental visits. Your dentist may leave the tooth open for a few days to drain If you had an active infection.  You might also be given medicine to help control infection that may have spread beyond the tooth. .
The temporary filling is removed and the pulp chamber and root canal are cleaned and filled.
In the final step,  the tooth is restored with a post and core if necessary and a crown is usually placed over the tooth to protect it from fracture.
