Today, root canal treatment is as simple and comfortable as getting a routine filling.
Basically a root canal is a filling where the dentist must clean and fill a special part of the tooth. Infection has invaded the into the root structure of the tooth and needs to be removed. We get the tooth supernumb and accomplish this in usually one simple visit.
For the patient, 'getting' a root canal is the same as 'getting' a filling. It's easy, it doesn't hurt, and it works.
