A root canal is a procedure to save a tooth when the nerve inside becomes infected or damaged. Your dentist gently removes the damaged tissue, thoroughly cleans and disinfects the internal canals, then seals the tooth. A crown is usually placed afterwards to protect and strengthen it. Modern root canal treatment is far more comfortable than most people expect — many patients say it feels similar to having a filling. Learn more about root canal treatment →
