Rootcanal treatment, also known as endodontic treatment, is a dental procedure in which the diseased or damaged pulp (core) of a tooth is removed and the inside areas (the pulp chamber and rootcanals) are filled and sealed.
Rootcanal treatment may be performed by a general dentist or by an endodontist, a dentist who specializes in endodontic (literally "inside of the tooth") procedures.
A rootcanal, coupled with internal tooth bleaching, is also used to fix teeth that have flened due to infiltration of decayed soft tissue into the dentin in the teeth, most often seen in frontal incisors that have been injured through a sudden impact.
The rootcanal is the hollow area at the center of a tooth.

For patients, rootcanal therapy is one of the most feared procedures in all of dentistry; contrary to popular belief, however, rootcanal treatment is usually painless due to effective pain control techniques used by the dentist while the treatment is being performed and the (optional) use of pain control medication after treatment.
