Root canal treatment is the process of removing the dental pulp or the small-sized tissues located at the center of the tooth which is often damaged, inflamed, or dead. When the dental pulp is affected, the tooth is at risk and it is necessary to remove it. The remaining space is then cleaned, shaped, and filled. This process involves sealing the root of the tooth. Before, teeth with affected dental pulp would have to be extracted. However, nowadays, root canal treatment helps preserve the tooth. It is important to understand the significance of dental roots.
