Boca Raton Root Canals

The Myth that Root Canals are Painful and Scary is not True

Root canals are a a procedure that removes a dead or infected nerve from the tooth.   When the nerve inside of a tooth is no longer vital( living) it can cause pain or discomfort.   Sometimes it feels like the entire jaw is hurting or all the teeth on that side feel pain.  This is called Referred pain.
