Root canals are used primarily to prolong the use of natural teeth which has suffered considerable damage that has reached the root causing pain. The process has the dentist drilling out the teeth enlarging cavities and removing the tooth pulp and other structures. The nerve is then removed and the area of the root that is infected filled with a material that would inhibit bacterial growth. The process takes a long time for the dentist must be sure that all organic matter is removed from within the tooth cavity that has been created to ensure that no further infection that can cause more damage and subsequently loss of the tooth. The tooth is filled with a swab of cotton dipped in strong antibacterial agents and covered with a partial crown after which it is removed and the cavity filled in with permanent material that mimics if not stronger that the material teeth itself is made of.
