The process involves eliminating the pulp and nerve from a tooth. It is then cleaned out and the hole is blocked.

Some of the signs that you may need a root canal include severe sensitivity for a long period, extreme discomfort when chewing, inflammation and tooth darkening. If left untreated, a defective tooth can cause infection, swelling and bone damage.
