A root canal is a dental procedure that gets rid of damage in your tooth’s roots while preserving your natural tooth. Root canals become necessary when infection or inflammation develops in the soft ...

The tooth root sits below the gumline and helps anchor the tooth in the jawbone. An exposed root, which may poke through the gum, can indicate damage to the gums or teeth. When a tooth root is no ...
