A root canal treatment is used to repair and save a tooth that
is badly decayed or becomes infected or when an injury or a large cavity
damages the tooth’s root. During a root canal procedure, the nerve and
pulp are removed and the inside of the tooth is cleaned and sealed.
Without treatment, the tissue surrounding the tooth will become infected
and an abscess may form.

The main symptoms of the root canal are:

4. A tooth that is partially or completely darkened following a trauma.
