Root canals are my least favorite procedures to do they are so boring. Placing implants are my favorite. I love assisting all on 4 surgeries. Dental assisting is such a fun and rewarding job. I have been doing it for over 20 yrs now and I love it.
I’m years late but you describe a root canal as boring. As a newbie I am CRYING because I don’t get the procedure at all and my practice doesn’t teach well 😖😖😖
Love your videos!! Would you be able to make a video talking about raises, when/how to ask for them, how to find a better paying job, etc? Thank you for all these videos, they’re great!
Thanks so much for posting this video!!! I just graduated few months back and haven’t had a chance to do a root canal yet! But this week I’ll be doing my first root canal! So nervous! But after watching your video I feel so much more confident! Really helped me out understand the procedure! Thank You!!!
I finally got the burs and instruments down then I started working with a dentist that does root canals and was sooo overwhelmed! All the k files and the set up! 😰 Lol thank you for this it helped me a lot!
my dentist is 31 and he used the torch on mine. it seemed kind of like he was trying to do it in a way where i couldn't tell what he was doing but i know what a torch sounds like and the end of the tool was glowing. i appreciated the attempt to avoid making me nervous though
You think you can do a video about baby root canals, well ppy’s? I’m learning more at work and I know my office uses the irm and I’m still new to assisting baby root canals. 😭
So, throughout this entire process are you suctioning as well? Is there a lot of handing things to the dentist bc it sounds like he handles most of it himself
This was perfect timing! We just learned about this in school this week :) This might be a dumb question but when you take the x-ray after putting on the cavit (temporary filling solution) do you keep the rubber dam in the mouth still while taking the x-ray?
Hi, i have a question. I had dental xrays done today. They had me stand in the spin around ur head xray thing. It was weird, they had me bite on a plastic peice with my front teeth & then they had me scoot my toes toward the machine while still standing & they said to stand at a slant with my toes off the floor. I thought it was weird but i didnt question it at the appointment. But now my front 2 top teeth r lose but they dont feel like they will fall out though. I thought about this all day & i wonder why they had my stand that way. What i dont understand is how thats right cause it seems like all my weight was held up my my front teeth. Maybe i am wrong but is this a normal or new practice? I dont get dental care often & i am out of the loop. I need honest answers. I do plan on haveing my mom call my dental office with me to just ask them. I just thought i would ask u since u were on my suggested vids list & it was on my mind as i was trying destract myself from all that stuck in my head. A roominate so its a things for me. But if u or anybody have any feedback feel free to send it my way. Just please be kind, thanks so much😊
Hi Star Platten, the x-ray they took for you is called an OPG which is very helpful because it shows both of your jaws and also your wisdom teeth etc. I think it’s either that you bit down so hard on it that it caused trauma for your teeth or that you have a gum disease and your teeth were already loose (the machine won’t make your teeth loose). I’m a dental assistant and this is what I think, however, keep searching and try to go back go to the dentist to ask them or even a different dentist. I hope that was helpful.
Do you have to have a strong stomach for this? Im worried about seeing stuff that's going to make my stomach turn. Hearing the removal of pulp from a tooth sounds disturbing lol
Gutta percha is what fills the pulp chamber after the dentist has cleaned the pulp out. It remains in there in place of the pulp :) it basically takes up the space because you cannot leave it hollow. The tooth is already more prone to becoming brittle.
Lord have mercy ..root canals are boring 😂 and I wish we had the fancy gutta percha gun. Old school 100% at my office ... we don't even have digital x-rays 😪
Please go to Endodontist if you need root canal. They are more up to date and more equipped than a general dentist to do it. I work for a Endodontist for 23 year you don't know how many patients we see that we have to retreat the root canal that a general dentist did or the started the root canal and it's calcified and now they don't know what to do or not equipped like an Endodontist.
Ok, old lady fricken. out here. First don't judge! Are wires left inside a tooth ??? I'm close to 70 yr. old. I have a tooth that rotted off. I thought there was a sharp edge so took needle nose pliers and pulled out 2 small wires 😳
Those are silver points that you removed I believe. You must of had an old root canal in that tooth, that was an old technique some dentist used. Instead of gutta percha,perchance, used silver points to fill the canal chamber. Please see your dentist or a root canal specialist they can guide you,if the tooth is still salvageable.
I'm an endodontic assistant and you explained everything perfectly 😊 great job
RCTs has so much to setup beforehand and literally just sit there and hand file the canals for 1hr. 💀
As a patient, i loved this. Helped my anxiety. A lot of us need to visualize what to expect. Thank you! Seems like it's not a big deal!
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE VIDEOS LIKE THIS! It helps so so much while training thank you so much🥰🥰🥰
Perfectly explained and made it so much easier for me to understand now! First time ever actually understanding the majority of it now

Just started at a new clinic, your videos are SO helpful and motivating 🥰

I finally got the burs and instruments down then I started working with a dentist that does root canals and was sooo overwhelmed! All the k files and the set up! 😰 Lol thank you for this it helped me a lot!
Thank you so much for this video really appreciate it so helpful and well explained
Thank you!!! Also are you thinking of doing a video on pulpotomy and how to place/mix IRM and glass ionomers?
Thank you so much I am a dental student and this is so informative and beneficial 🌼
Great to watch, thank you! I am gonna learn to assist an Endo next week. Greeting from 🇱🇺 Holland.
It’s an very useful videos for RCT. Thanks a lot!
Great video, this helped a lot ❤️❤️❤️
thank you for posting this, i had a pt come in for endo and i haven't done endo in like 3 months 😅
I haven’t done one in five years 😂 im scared to death again
Plz make a video about restoration and cavity preparation and their hand instruments and rotary
Super helpful. Thank you 😊
Thank you so much 💓
Thank you so much very helpful
my dentist is 31 and he used the torch on mine. it seemed kind of like he was trying to do it in a way where i couldn't tell what he was doing but i know what a torch sounds like and the end of the tool was glowing. i appreciated the attempt to avoid making me nervous though
I love assisting with Rct
So informative. Thanks for the video! Is an open and drain procedure like the beginning of RCT? Will it be the same set up as well?
Can you do a video for crown preps?
Super useful video. Im starting my first dental assistant job in Australia, and this is a very good explanation of a RCT!
Hey! DN in Aus here. Just FYI we tend to use Odontopaste instead of Gutta-Percha in the pulp chamber :)
@@claudiamary6005 omg Aus DA here THANK YOU I was literally like they never showed me this gutta-percha ???
Can you please take root canal and extraction set up tray pictures of what should be on the tray?
Very very helpful x
Would you consider doing a X-ray test certificate review
You forgot to mention drying with papers after irrigating
Yeah, drying with paper points. I think
Great informative video Cheyenne! One thing I noticed that was missing: the paper points used to dry the canal before gutta percha is placed.
I was just about to ask that!
You think you can do a video about baby root canals, well ppy’s? I’m learning more at work and I know my office uses the irm and I’m still new to assisting baby root canals. 😭
Can you please explain pulpectomy 🙏🏻
When do you use the paper points?
So, throughout this entire process are you suctioning as well? Is there a lot of handing things to the dentist bc it sounds like he handles most of it himself
Great explanation that helped me out a ton! Question when does he use paper points? or Does your dr. not use paper points? Thanks in advance!
You always have to use paper points to dry the inside the canal before filling it with gutta percha..
also what about paper points ?
Can pls talk about Implant
This was perfect timing! We just learned about this in school this week :) This might be a dumb question but when you take the x-ray after putting on the cavit (temporary filling solution) do you keep the rubber dam in the mouth still while taking the x-ray?
At my clinic we complete a root canal over 3-4 visits, did I miss something or is that just what my clinic does?
Can someone list it in writing here
Paper points ?
K files come in lengths of 21mm, 25mm and 31 mm .
im not in the dental industry in any way i just wanted to know what was being done to me
Great 👍.
But I think you forgot PAPER POINTS to dry the canals. 😎

What is gutta percha and what does it do?
Gutta percha is what fills the pulp chamber after the dentist has cleaned the pulp out. It remains in there in place of the pulp :) it basically takes up the space because you cannot leave it hollow. The tooth is already more prone to becoming brittle.
Are all rubber dams latex free?
They are latex free rubber dam. If you allergic to latex you have to let the assistant know and the doctor
Lord have mercy ..root canals are boring 😂 and I wish we had the fancy gutta percha gun. Old school 100% at my office ... we don't even have digital x-rays 😪
I totally agree! They’re my least favorite! I honestly prefer the old school way with the torch. The gutta percha gun is a pain to clean! 😂
Please go to Endodontist if you need root canal. They are more up to date and more equipped than a general dentist to do it.

Your tooth is more than likely not save able. Go to your dentists ASAP and see if they can fix it or remove.
