A root canal is a treatment where the infected pulp of the tooth is removed before it is sealed. A root canal is usually a final ditch effort to save a natural tooth that has become infected.
Save your natural tooth (normal chewing, biting, aesthetic, etc.)
Stop toothaches and other pain (related to an ongoing infection)
Streamlined process (very effective)
Cheaper than a dental implant
Weakens tooth (removes infected portion of the tooth resulting in a dead tooth)
May require 1-2 visits (depends on complexity)
Apply local anesthetic to reduce pain during root canal process
Dentist cuts into tooth and removes the infected pulp tissue
The newly created hole is cleaned (disinfected) and shaped
The hole or canal is filled in and sealed
The filling material is cured to harden and restore the tooth
A crown is placed over the tooth to prevent fractures (usually because it is too weak)
