Your “root canals” are tiny passages in your tooth roots. Nerves travel up these passages to the inner part of your tooth that is filled with living connective tissue. This inner part of your tooth is called a pulp chamber, and the nerves in your teeth that travel through the the root canals to the pulp chamber are the same nerves that allow your teeth to experience hot and cold. When an infection reaches your pulp chamber, it can affect these nerves and cause a serious, chronic toothache. A root canal, or root canal therapy, is a procedure that removes infection, alleviates the toothache, and preserves the tooth.
