A root canal is a treatment to repair and save a badly damaged or infected tooth. The procedure involves removing the damaged area of the tooth (the pulp), cleaning and disinfecting it and then filling and sealing it. The common causes affecting the pulp are a cracked tooth, a deep cavity, repeated dental treatment to the tooth or trauma.

The term 'Root Canal' is an anatomical one, used to describe the tiny hollow within the tooth that extends from the tip of the root of the tooth to the centre of the crown (the part of the tooth that is visible above the gum). This natural space inside the tooth is filled with the tooth's nerve network, soft connective tissue and the blood vessels that keep the tooth nourished and healthy.
