A root canal is a natural cavity within the center of every tooth. Root canal therapy is used to treat and save a tooth that has become badly damaged or infected due to trauma, injury or decay. The nerve and pulp are removed and the inside of the tooth, where the infection occurs, is cleansed and sealed.
In a healthy tooth, a root canal is filled with blood vessels, nerves and connective tissue. Within the root canal are the important vital structures, called pulp, which keep the tooth healthy by supplying moisture to the tooth to keep it flexible and a nutrient blood supply that can deliver reparative elements internally to the tooth to keep it healthy.

In this case, a tooth abscess is likely to form in the root and the infection generates puss.
