A root canal is a dental procedure designed to treat infection or damage within the pulp (the soft tissue inside the tooth). When the pulp becomes infected due to deep decay, trauma, or repeated dental procedures, a root canal can save the tooth by removing the infected tissue, cleaning the area, and sealing it to prevent further infection. https://brightsmilesga.com/understanding-root-canal-treatment-what-to-expect-at-bright-smiles-in-cumming/
