Why is it called "root canal"?
Although “root canal” has become a common term for the dental procedure, the real root canal is a small channel that runs from the dental crown to bottom of the tooth root. This inner chamber houses a rich blood supply that is fueled by a network of nerves, blood vessels, and various tissues. It is also easy for oral infections to spread to this area, and if the infection becomes worse it can spread through the root canal to the pulp and form an abscess.
You may not have heard of the term pulp outside of orange juice, but in dentistry the pulp is the life of the tooth. Inside the core of the tooth, a hollow space contains the soft tissues that link the tooth to the root through canals. Since blood is channeling to the tooth through these canals, if an infection spreads, it can become a serious health condition.
Our dentists use root canal procedures to remove damaged pulp, prevent the spread of infection, and save the damaged tooth. This treatment alleviates pain and sensitivity caused by infection and allows patients to return to full functionality of their teeth.
