A root canal is the space within the root of a tooth.
Part of a naturally occurring space within a tooth, it consists of the pulp chamber (within the coronal part of the tooth), the main canal(s), and more intricate anatomical branches that may connect the root canals to each other or to the surface of the root An infected tooth remains infected until the tooth has a root canal or is removed.
If it is not treated the infection can spread.
Sometimes delaying treatment will mean that you also have to treat (or lose) the teeth on either side of the original infected tooth.
Infection can also spread into your tissues.
This is usually when you see facial swelling.
