A root canal treatment is used to repair and save a tooth which is highly decayed or becomes infected. In the root canal procedure, the nerve and pulp are eliminated and the tooth inside is cleaned and sealed. In the absence of treatment, the surrounding tissue of the tooth will become infected and abscesses may form.
