What is the Root Canal in a Tooth?

A root canal refers to the natural cavity inside the root of your tooth. To understand how endodontic treatment works, it’s helpful to know a bit about your tooth’s anatomy:


  • Roots: These are the portions of your teeth that are anchored deep into your gums and jawbone. Some teeth have a single root, while molars often have multiple roots for extra stability.
  • Root Canal Space: Within each root lies a pulp-filled canal—blood vessels, tissue, and nerves—that nourishes your tooth during development.
  • Tooth Sensation: The pulp allows you to sense temperature changes and pressure through your teeth.

When infection or injury compromises the pulp, a root canal can save the tooth by removing the diseased tissue while preserving the exterior structure.

What Is a Root Canal Procedure?

A root canal procedure is highly effective for treating infection and saving your tooth. Here's how we perform endodontic treatment in Friendswood at Bay Area Dental Specialists:


  • We begin by applying a local anesthetic to ensure your comfort throughout the procedure.
  • Our dentist creates a small opening in the tooth to access the canal.
  • The infected or damaged pulp is carefully removed, and the canal is thoroughly cleaned and disinfected.
  • If necessary, a medicated filling or antibiotic may be placed inside to eliminate any lingering bacteria.
  • Finally, the canal is sealed with a sterile material to prevent future infections.

Afterward, we often recommend placing a crown on the treated tooth for additional strength and protection, restoring full function to your bite.

Signs You Might Need Root Canal Therapy

Watch for these common warning signs of an infected or compromised tooth:


  • Severe, persistent toothache
  • Darkening or discoloration of the tooth
  • Sensitivity to hot or cold foods and drinks
  • Swollen, tender, or inflamed gums
  • A loose-feeling adult tooth

These symptoms can indicate that the pulp inside your tooth has become infected or inflamed. Without prompt treatment, the infection can spread, potentially leading to bone loss or systemic health issues.
