What is a Root Canal?
A root canal is a procedure used to treat infection or damage to the inner pulp of a tooth. The pulp is the soft tissue containing nerves and blood vessels, and when it becomes infected, it can cause severe pain and lead to tooth loss. During a root canal, your dentist or endodontist removes the infected pulp, cleans the tooth, and seals it to prevent further infection. A crown is usually placed on the tooth afterward to restore its strength and function.
