THINGS to avoid during ROOT CANAL TREATMENT

What is a root canal treatment?

Root canals are critical procedures, without
which dental health may be significantly
compromised as they help protect teeth and
restore the ability to bite.

When a tooth becomes damaged, cracked, or broken,
bacteria often enters the site and permeates into
the area beneath the tooth which is called pulp.

In a root canal treatment, the dentist will
remove the infected pulp beneath the tooth and
will effectively clean the tooth to avoid further
infection.

Then the tooth is usually filled with a rubber
material that allows for adequate flexibility
when biting down and the treatment is usually
completed by fitting a crown atop the tooth.
