Dr. Kip Litton opened his award-winning dental practice in 1990 and has since provided patients with services like root canals and implants. Root canals are most commonly needed when a tooth becomes infected or decays, requiring the removal of the nerve and pulp inside the tooth to clean and seal the infected area. While root canals have a reputation for being painful, the procedure itself is similar to a normal filling and the referenced pain is actually from the prior infection or damage in the tooth.

Introduction to
Root Canal
Treatment
 When a tooth becomes infected or has for any other reason
started to decay, an individual will likely need to receive root canal
treatment. Root canals are most commonly performed when the
tooth itself has contracted an infection or the pulp inside the tooth
is in some way damaged. During a root canal procedure, a dental
professional will remove both the nerve and pulp inside the tooth,
clean the infected and damaged area, and seal the tooth off to
prevent further complications. In popular culture, root canals have
gained a reputation as exceptionally painful procedures. In reality,
getting a root canal is as simple as receiving a normal filling. The
pain associated with the procedure is actually a reference to the
extreme discomfort a damaged or infected tooth can cause prior
to treatment.
