Root Canals And Crowns Saving Teeth Treatments

ROOT CANAL TREATMENT Tooth Structure CROWN : This is the part of the tooth you can see above the gumline. ROOT : This part of the tooth sits in the bone below the gum. The root of your tooth is usually twice as long as the crown, the part you see above the gumline. Why is the Root Canal performed? The pulp is the living tissue of the tooth with blood supply and nerve supply. Once dental caries (decay ) involves the pulp, the pulp gets infected causing pain. The aim of the root canal treatment is to remove the infected pulp. This is done by removing the infected pulp with files in the pulp chamber and cleaning and shaping the root canals and sealing the canal with a filling material.
