A root canal is a treatment to repair and save a badly damaged or infected tooth instead of removing it. A root canal treatment refers to the correction of hollow space or cavity within the tooth. The pulp chamber offers nutrients to the tooth wherein also are the nerves of the tooth, if this area of the tooth is infected as a result of caries or trauma, it can lead to an infection accompanied by pain.

Root canal treatment, also known as endodontic therapy, is a dental procedure to remove an infection from a tooth. The pulp of the tooth is the lifeline of the tooth. When the infection reaches the pulp, the tooth requires root canal treatment. This is a painless procedure & can save a tooth that otherwise needs to be removed.
