A root canal becomes necessary when the pulp inside a tooth — nerves and blood vessels — becomes infected or inflamed, usually from deep decay or a crack reaching the interior. Cleaning and sealing the canal is what stops the infection from spreading toward the surrounding bone. Despite the reputation, most patients describe it as feeling similar to getting a routine filling.
Modern rotary instruments and electronic apex locators let a specialist clean the canal system with more precision than in the past. A crown is usually needed afterward since a treated tooth becomes more brittle under normal chewing force.
A tooth that's had a root canal no longer has a living nerve inside, which is part of why it can survive without the throbbing pain that brought you in. That's also why a treated tooth won't register hot or cold sensitivity the way it used to — the nerve that felt that is gone.
Curved or calcified canal anatomy is routed to a specialist with focused endodontic training.
Electronic measurement pinpoints exact canal length, cutting down on repeat X-rays.
Straightforward cases are often finished in one appointment rather than two.
