Sometimes, tooth decay enters into the pulp of a tooth and infects it. As the pulp attempts to fight this it infections, it has the desire to swell. Due to the fact there is no room for it to swell, the tissue dies instead of healing. The purpose of a root canal is to remove the infected or dead tissue and allow the tooth to heal.
Fortunately, root canal treatments aren’t typically painful for patients. In some cases, the pulp tissue has already died so there is no need for novocain.
