Sodium hypochlorite is the chemical used to fill up the pulp if the tooth is removed.

Root canals are usually performed with the aid of a local anesthetic which is a pain-blocking medication that numbs a specific area of the body. Sodium hypochlorite is a significant component of the chemical preparation. The dentist places a rubber sheet around the tooth to ensure it is dry during treatment.

The dam prevents you from swallowing or breathing in any chemicals the dentist uses. After the pulp in the tooth is removed, your dentist will clean and enlarge the root canal, so it can be quickly filled.
