A root canal therapy is a restorative dental procedure that involves the removal of the injured or infected pulp (the soft, inner part of the tooth), disinfecting and filling the area with medication, and placing a dental crown over the tooth for protection.

Having a root canal used to be a terribly painful procedure, but no more.

The old joke response to something that you don’t want to do is “I’d rather have a root canal!” But new technologies in dentistry have made dental procedures of every kind, including root canals, relatively easy to handle and not as painful as they used to be.
