A root canal is a procedure that is performed on a tooth that is severely decayed or infected. When a cavity in a tooth becomes deep enough that it reaches through the enamel to the inside portion of the tooth where the soft pulp resides, the tooth can become infected. This can also happen as a result of a chipped, cracked, or broken tooth. . Ideally, root canal treatment should be performed before an infection sets in to avoid a painful toothache and to save the tooth.
