A common misconception is that a root canal is a painful procedure. Actually, root canals are similar to having a cavity filled, usually producing minimal pain.
Common causes for the need of endodontic treatment:
Inflamed/infected tooth pulp
Severe sensitivity to hot and cold elements
Tooth decay
Chipped or broken tooth
Blow to the tooth
Swelling or tenderness near the infected tooth
Repeated dental procedures on a tooth
