A root canal is a dental procedure that is utilized to repair and preserve a tooth that has suffered extensive decay or become infected. While normal tooth decay can progress and necessitate a root canal, the tooth can also die as a result of blunt trauma.
During the procedure, the dentist will extract the dead nerve from the tooth and seal it to prevent any further infection or abscess from forming around the tooth. Failing to remove the nerve can cause the infection to spread deeper into the gums, resulting in pain, discomfort, and swelling.
