Unlike usual worries, a root canal doesn’t mean getting rid of the teeth’s roots. Under our teeth’s surface, we have a complex part – the roots that go deep into the jawbone. The inside part of the teeth has a squishy pulp, holding the blood and nerve connections for that tooth. When hurt by things like deep cavities or trauma, the soft center can make you feel pain. A root canal treatment deals with this by taking out the sick pulp, cleaning up the tooth, and closing it. Done right, root canals have a 95% success. They usually don’t hurt and are often better than pulling the tooth out.
