A root canal is a necessary procedure if an infection develops in the tooth and finds its way to the root. This can happen when bacteria gets through untreated cavities or there is a cracked tooth. To avoid extraction, a root canal can be performed to restore the tooth to its full capabilities.
A tooth canal is a procedure that clears the infection through a specialized tool. A filling or crown seals the tooth to prevent future issues.
