It's drilling out of the canals where the nerves reside, killing all
feeling in the tooth.
Precisely, its not the removal of the root.

FWIW -
A root canal is not the removal of a root, but the drilling out of the
inside.

What's interesting about all this is that my dentist is Chinese. Heh. (I
wasn't totally sure from the wikipedia article who it would apply to, but
some
Chinese it seemed). I am not too worried, however, because he was working
from
an X-ray, and trying to find the third root based on that. But I will ask
him next time I go in, if he doesn't have to remove TWO more roots. Or
maybe he
already removed three and I just didn't get that.
Thanks for the head up.

Bob W,
You are just a fount of information. Wow!
