Root Canal

Root canal therapy is a treatment used to repair and save a tooth that is badly decayed or infected.

A root canal procedure is performed when the nerve of the tooth becomes infected or the pulp becomes damaged. During a root canal procedure, the nerve and pulp are removed, and the inside of the tooth is cleaned and sealed.

Root canal procedures have the reputation of being painful. However, most people report that the procedure is no more painful than having a filling placed. The root canal procedure itself is not painful. Rather the period leading up to treatment is when patients feel the greatest amount of discomfort.
