Root canal treatment is a treatment to repair and save a badly damaged or infected tooth instead of extracting it. With advances in dentistry and local anesthetics, most people experience little or no pain during a root canal procedure. In fact, living with a decayed tooth is probably more painful. Alternatives to root canal treatment include removing the damaged tooth, no further treatment, or replacing the tooth with a dental implant, bridge, or removable partial denture.
