Previously, having a damaged or infected tooth used to mean extraction. But with modern techniques in root canal therapy that has changed. In this procedure, a tooth is kept intact by removing the pulp within the tooth and replacing it with filling material. When root canals were first performed, they were painful and as a result it was a procedure that patients avoided. But with today’s anesthetics and technology, they are often painless.
