The Truth About Root Canals
Needless to say, root canal therapy has a terrible reputation as a torturous procedure, but actually, this is a complete myth! In reality, the patient is completely numbed beforehand and feel practically nothing while in the chair. The pain that most people associate with this treatment actually stems from the dental infections affecting the pulp and the nerve inside the living tissue of the tooth. The infection can be delivered through tooth decay or a crack in the enamel. Once the tooth is numb, the infection is removed, then the tooth is cleaned, sanitized, and the canal is filled. In a separate appointment, a porcelain crown is placed to seal and protect the tooth for breaking.
