Root canal treatment - Preparation

In your first treatment appointment, three things should occur: a thorough clinical examination of your teeth, documentation of your medical history, and a sensitivity test. X-rays are also required at this stage.

The condition of the pulpa, the dental casings, the jawbone, and the integrity of the dental structure will be determined through various examinations. The information that is gleaned from these will be used to determine whether root canal treatment is appropriate for you. A severely curved root canal, for example, can be grounds for disqualification.⁸
