Every tooth in your mouth has a hollow area in the centre, which consists of connective tissue, blood vessels and soft tissues. The dental pulp, which is also sometimes known as the connective tissue is what makes up the root canal. A root canal treatment is required when the nerves have been infected. With one nerve being infected, it can cause the infection to travel into the root of your tooth and begin to cause pain.
