While this tissue is normally a strength for our immunological health, damage can occur. Some common instances of enamel damage include cavities. Periodontal disease can also result as a result of poor oral health hygiene.

A root canal is the removal of the interior fleshy portion within the tooth. This removes the worrisome infection as well as the nerve and circulatory tissue. The connection between this location and the jaw are sealed to prevent reinfection or possible spread into the bone matter. After the root canal, you will require the placement of a dental crown to ensure the lasting stability of the location and keep your bite functional.
