A root canal is an endodontic treatment with a goal to repair and preserve a badly damaged or infected tooth. The word “Endo” is Greek for “inside,” meaning the procedure involves a dentist removing bacteria and dying or already dead tissue from inside a tooth. The term “root canal” alludes to the actual canals or stems of the tooth that are called the “pulp.” In the earliest stages of infection, a patient may not feel any pain at all. However, without professional care, the infection could progress into a toothache, swelling, or even a dental abscess. A Brandon, FL root canal removes the infection and prevents the infection from spreading further.
