What is a Root Canal?

A root canal is a dental procedure that saves a damaged or infected tooth. The inner part of your tooth, called the pulp, contains nerves and blood vessels. When the pulp gets infected, it can cause pain and swelling. A root canal removes the infected pulp, cleans the inside of the tooth, and seals it to prevent reinfection.
