Good question :) - FELIZ77, Feb 28, 2011

el canal -- remover significa "stir". Se dice sacar o extraer una muela. :-) - gone, Feb 28, 2011

I'm a dental assistant! I started off learning dental spanish! we say "endodontia" in our dental office!

Sacar una muela is for an extraction!

Wow,Loren.. you have the same birthday as I do obviously not the same year hahaha - FELIZ77, Feb 28, 2011

How interesting! You are the second person I've met in my life with the same birthday! It's not very common! - lorenaventura, Feb 28, 2011

Loren, you are right. Endodoncia is the scientific name for tratamiento de conducto. Y eXodoncia significa sacar una muela. - gone, Feb 28, 2011

I vote with you. I don't come from native spanish speakers, but my art friends do, and that's what they call it, Lorena. Bravo! - Sunlit, Oct 18, 2014

@ Loren, I agree but don't forget that "muela" techincally means "molar" although many people say this when talking about any kind of toothache, etc - 005faa61, Nov 6, 2015

En realidad se dice tratamiento de conducto, ya que el conducto radicular es el "canal", pero el procedimiento se llama tratamiento de conducto.

Se dice en español (Castellano) ''el conducto radicular''

If you just want the phrase root canal I have given it to you but if you want the name of the procedure in Spanish Usarenco has given you the more precise answer He is a native and should know
