A root canal is a procedure where your dentist removes any decay, bacteria and nerves from the interior of a damaged tooth to save the tooth and prevent the need for an extraction.
A root canal involves removing the diseased inner tooth root (blood vessels, nerves and other tissues) to halt the spread of infection and restore the healthy portion of the tooth.
First, your dentist will remove the diseased tissue from the tooth and then clean and disinfect the inner chamber. The chamber and canals are then filled with medication material to prevent infection. To finish the procedure, the tooth is generally capped with a dental crown.
