Why Do I Need a Root Canal?

The pulp or root of your tooth is a bundle of nerves, blood vessels, and connective tissues. This pulp can become inflamed or infected for several reasons, including cavities, chips, and cracks. In these cases, the affected pulp will need to be removed via a root canal.

The Root Canal Procedure

Your dentist will give you local anesthesia to numb the area around the tooth. Then, they will drill into your tooth and remove the affected pulp. Afterwards, the area will be thoroughly flushed and cleaned. Your dentist will then fill and seal the hole.
