What is a root canal? Much like the root of a tree, every tooth in your mouth has a root. Your tooth root is hollow and filled with blood vessels, nerves, and a tissue called “pulp.”The pulp can get infected, and it hurts! How does this happen? Many reasons, but the most common is from a cavity or injury. Sometimes the infection spreads and causes an abscess. This can hurt a lot more. You have two options at this point. The first option is a root canal procedure.

Here is what happens when you have a root canal: Your dentist removes the infected pulp in your tooth root. He will fill that area with a biocompatible material. Then a temporary filling is placed on top to seal it off. Usually, that takes care of the pain. In another appointment, your dentist will apply a protective crown, which will allow you to chew normally, and everything should be good after that. The other option is to pull the tooth out, but that can create other problems in your mouth, so we will always try to save your tooth.

How do you know if you need a root canal? (Hint) Your mouth is basically sending you emails

Let’s be honest. No one wakes up one day thinking, “I need a root canal.” A root canal is right up there with a “surprise audit from the IRS” or “seeing those flashing red and blue lights in your car rear view mirror and realizing it’s for you.” The word root canal has become synonymous with one of the things people hear about and dread.

Here’s the funny part (not that there is anything funny about pain), but a root canal is NOT the villain. The tooth causing all the pain and drama is.
