The dentist performs a comprehensive exam of the patient's dental health. It helps to analyze the dental condition of the infected tooth. X-rays are obtained from digital imaging systems, which provide a better view of the teeth. A treatment plan is drafted for the patient, which helps to resolve the dental condition.

Anesthesia is used to numb the area in treatment which helps to avoid discomfort during the procedure. The dentist secures a rubber sheet on the infected tooth to keep it dry and free from saliva.
