What Is a Root Canal?

A root canal is a dental procedure that removes infected or inflamed pulp from inside the tooth. The area is then carefully cleaned, disinfected, and sealed. Your roots stay intact—only the infected tissue is removed. Without treatment, the infection can spread and lead to an abscess or tooth loss.

What Causes Nerve Damage?

The most common reasons for root canal therapy include:

• Deep tooth decay
• Large or repeated fillings
• Cracks or chips in the tooth
• Facial trauma
• Past dental work irritating the nerve
