Hello,

There should be no damage to neighboring teeth when it comes to a root canal. The procedure consists of a general dentist or endodontist removing the nerve and blood vessels from a single tooth that is infected. I hope that answers your question. Don't be afraid of what you read on the internet about root canals. As long as your doctor performs at the highest standard of care, you will be fine. We are in the business of saving teeth.
