Endodontic Treatment

A root canal is an endodontic procedure that removes infected or damaged pulp from inside a tooth, cleans and disinfects the canals, then seals the tooth to save it.

Definition

A root canal is an endodontic procedure that removes infected or damaged pulp from inside a tooth, cleans and disinfects the canals, then seals the tooth to save it.

In-Depth

What You Need to Know

Root canal therapy is one of the most common dental procedures, with over 15 million performed annually. It becomes necessary when the pulp — the soft tissue inside the tooth containing nerves and blood vessels — becomes inflamed or infected due to deep decay, repeated dental procedures, cracks, or chips. Despite its reputation, modern root canal treatment is comparable to having a filling placed. The procedure relieves pain and saves the natural tooth, which is almost always preferable to extraction.
