Tooth root nerve pulling, also known as a root canal, is a dental procedure that removes the infected or damaged nerve and pulp from the inside of a tooth. The nerve and pulp are located in the root canals of the tooth, which are narrow passageways that run through the center of the tooth root.
Tooth root nerve pulling is necessary when the nerve and pulp of a tooth become infected or damaged. This can happen for a number of reasons, including:
Deep decay
A cracked or broken tooth
A large filling
Repeated dental procedures on the same tooth
Gum disease
