Root canal treatment is a type of surgery on your tooth. It is needed when a dental carie or an old filling that is broken allows bacteria into the tooth. These bacteria may live quite happily in your teeth and eventually damage the tooth pulp and nerve.
As the bacteria continue to kill the pulp in the root of your tooth (in the root canal) you may develop a lump or "gum pimple" which is a build up of pus from the infection.
Root canal treatment removes the dead and damaged tissue in the tooth and fills it, much like a normal filling. Some people may require a crown, which is basically a cover to go over the top of the newly filled root canal.
You may be required to go back to the dentist more than once, so a temporary filling may be used until you can have a crown put on your tooth.

Josh, Sam - Tomorrow my treatment will start. What the dentist did with my first check is only extirpation of pulp and change the old filling. I think an anesthesia is present while doing the procedure.
