The main function of a root canal treatment is to remove damaged pulp from inside the tooth. If decay or bacteria-filled pulp remains in the tooth, the bacteria may spread into an infectious sac or abscessed tooth that may spread beyond the tooth and into the jaw and other areas of the face, neck or head, sometimes even the brain. Damaged or decayed tooth pulp also causes bone loss around the root of the tooth and may result in loss of the tooth as well as surrounding teeth.
