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. The procedure removes that infected tissue, cleans and shapes the canal system, then seals it against reinfection. 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. Because the tooth loses some structural integrity, a protective crown typically follows once treatment is complete.
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. That's also why a treated tooth won't register hot or cold sensitivity the way it used to — the nerve that felt that is gone.
