Description

• Root canal is a treatment to repair and save a
  badly damaged or infected tooth instead of
  removing it. The procedure involves removing the
  damaged area of the tooth (the pulp) and cleaning
  and disinfecting it, then filling and sealing it.
  The common causes affecting the pulp are a
  cracked tooth, a deep cavity, repeated dental
  treatment to the tooth or trauma to it. The term
  "root canal" comes from cleaning of the canals
  inside the tooth's root.
• Decades ago, root canal treatments were painful.
  With dental advances and local anesthetics, most
  people have little if any pain with a root canal
  today.

Planning

• Many people worry that a root canal will be
  painful, something that was true in the past.
  Today, with advanced anesthesia options and
  surgical techniques - a root canal is as
  comfortable as getting a filling. An infected
  tooth (pre-root canal), is usually what causes
  tooth pain, and a root canal is the solution to
  this problem. In fact, infected tooth pulp can
  cause a tooth abscess and can destroy the bone
  surrounding the tooth.
• A treated and restored tooth can last a lifetime
  with proper care. Root canals have a high success
  rate and are significantly less expensive than
  the alternative, tooth extraction and replacement
  with a bridge or implant.
• But tooth decay can still occur in treated teeth,
  so good oral hygiene and regular dental exams are
  necessary to prevent further problems.
• To determine the success or failure of root canal
  treatment, dentists typically compare new X-rays
  with those taken prior to treatment. This
  comparison will show whether bone continues to be
  lost or is being regenerated.
• Sometimes root canals are not successful because
  an infection develops inside the tooth, or the
  original infection was not fully removed. In
  these cases, an apicoectomy, a procedure where
  the infection and the root tip are removed and a
  filling placed, is done. Other times a second
  root canal is recommended.
