What it treats
When the inside of a tooth is infected
A tooth's pulp — the soft tissue with nerves and blood vessels inside it — can become infected or inflamed from deep decay, a crack, or repeated dental work. Left alone, that infection causes the throbbing, heat-sensitive pain most people associate with a "bad tooth," and can eventually lead to an abscess.
Root canal treatment removes that infected tissue, disinfects the canal system inside the root, and seals it — keeping the natural tooth in your mouth instead of extracting it. A crown is usually recommended afterward to protect the treated tooth from cracking under normal chewing force.
