A root canal becomes necessary when the pulp inside a tooth — nerves and blood vessels — becomes infected or inflamed, usually from deep decay or a crack reaching the interior. Cleaning and sealing the canal is what stops the infection from spreading toward the surrounding bone. Despite the reputation, most patients describe it as feeling similar to getting a routine filling.
Digital measurement tools pinpoint canal length precisely, reducing the guesswork older hand-file methods relied on. A crown is usually needed afterward since a treated tooth becomes more brittle under normal chewing force.
A tooth that's had a root canal no longer has a living nerve inside, which is part of why it can survive without the throbbing pain that brought you in. Patients often notice they can't feel temperature in that tooth anymore, which is expected, not a sign something's wrong.
