A root canal procedure is one that removes the infected and\/or irritated nerve tissues from inside your tooth and seals off bacteria from re-entering the tooth. It is usually necessary to perform a root canal when tooth decay has reached the nerve of the tooth or an infection has started at the root of the tooth.<\/p>\n

Root canals are often mistaken for being an incredibly painful procedure. The truth is, you are numbed with local anesthetic for\u00a0the procedure and do not feel anything!
