What is root canal treatment?

Root canal treatment is a procedure used to save a tooth that has become infected or severely decayed. Inside each tooth is a space called the root canal, which contains nerves and blood vessels (the pulp). When this pulp becomes inflamed or infected, root canal treatment removes the damaged tissue, cleans and disinfects the space, and then seals it to prevent future infection. Modern root canal treatments are comfortable, safe, and help you keep your natural smile.
