Only because they do so much work. root canals consist of removing the root and nerves from your tooth, filling it with permanent "roots" and filing the tooth down to a nub so that they can put a crown over it.
yea I know is it safe to do it while pregnant though? cause the dentist told me it was safe but my sister is a dental assistant and she said it's not that safe that even the dentist she works for tell her patients it is safe after 3 months but wouldn't let her daughter that is 6 months pregnant get any work done or xrays just cleaning so I'm even more worried @arijane316
