  1. -Dr Aishwarya Joshi Root Canal Treatment

  2. A root canal is a dental procedure performed to treat infection or damage within the pulp of a tooth. The pulp is the innermost part of the tooth that contains nerves, blood vessels, and connective tissue. When the pulp becomes infected or inflamed due to deep decay, trauma, or repeated dental procedures on the tooth, it can cause severe pain and may lead to the formation of an abscess if left untreated. During a root canal procedure, the dentist or endodontist (a dentist specializing in root canal treatments) removes the infected or damaged pulp from the tooth. Whatis root canal ?

  3. If tooth decay progresses deep into the tooth and reaches the pulp, bacteria can invade and cause infection. A tooth that has been injured due to trauma, such as a crack or fracture, can expose the pulp to bacteria, leading to infection. Teeth that have undergone multiple dental procedures, such as fillings or crowns, may eventually develop problems with the pulp. A crack in the tooth can provide an entry point for bacteria to reach the pulp, resulting in infection. Some individuals may have anatomical variations that make their teeth more susceptible to pulp infection. Why is root canal necessary ?
