A Root Canal is a dental procedure used to treat infection or damage in the pulp of a tooth, which is the soft tissue inside containing nerves and blood vessels. The treatment involves removing the infected or damaged pulp, cleaning and disinfecting the inside of the tooth, and then filling and sealing it to prevent further infection. Root canals are commonly performed to save a tooth that would otherwise need to be extracted. The procedure is usually completed under local anesthesia and can alleviate pain while preserving the tooth’s structure.
