Canal

The canal of a tooth refers to the hollow space within the root of a tooth that contains the tooth's pulp. It is also called the root canal, and it's a tiny channel that runs through the center of the tooth's root. The tooth's blood vessels and nerves run through the root canal, and this is why the pulp chamber and root canals need to be cleaned and disinfected when the pulp becomes infected or inflamed. In simple terms, the canal of a tooth is the small hollow space inside the root of a tooth that contains the tooth's blood vessels, nerves, and connective tissue.
