Many of us have heard the comparisons of painful
things to the root canal procedure. It's actually not bad at all. There are tiny canals within
your tooth that may become infected. This leads to the pulp inside your tooth also
becoming diseased. Either your dentist or an endodontist to remove any infection performs
the root canal procedure. The canals are then filled and the tooth receives either a
filling or a crown. Crowns are more common in most cases as they add strength to the tooth
itself. The procedure itself takes one to two visits.
