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.
Modern rotary instruments and electronic apex locators let a specialist clean the canal system with more precision than in the past. A crown is usually needed afterward since a treated tooth becomes more brittle under normal chewing force.
Removing the infected nerve tissue is exactly what stops the pain signal at its source, not just masks it temporarily. Patients often notice they can't feel temperature in that tooth anymore, which is expected, not a sign something's wrong.
