What is a Root Canal and what does it involve?
A root canal is a procedure that is performed when the nerve of the tooth becomes infected. The infection can be caused by many things, including tooth decay, a crack in the tooth or an injury to the tooth. During a root canal, a dentist will remove the nerve and pulp from the tooth. They will then clean and seal the tooth. The entire procedure usually takes about an hour to complete.
