Answers:
Sound like your nervous and need a lot of work speak to your dentist regarding sedation, it will relax you during the treatment.
A root canal is basically a filling on the inside of a tooth, just it takes a bit longer. What they do is they look for the chamber and canal where the nerve hangs out, once they find it they remove it, and then with a rotary dril they shape the inside of the canal so that it is more symetrical, they give it a cone shape so that it is easier to fill. Once it has a cone shape they fill it in with a material that will replace your nerve.
They then put a core (which is means a filling) they prep the tooth for a crown (a cap) A crown is needed after a root canal bc the teeth if left uncapped after a root canal become very brittle and crack easily
as for the cavities they will get filling and I suspect you already know what a filling is.Health Question & Answer

14 cavities.? Not even going to comment on that. Now, onto your questions.
A root canal is a procedure were the dentist drills into your tooth, and removes tissue(dental pulp) from within your tooth, the tooth is filled will rubber and then crowned with a metal cap, these caps can be metallic, gold, or I think they can be made to be tooth colored. I don't know what you could do for the pain besides maybe taking some pain relievers..Health Question & Answer
