It is important to understand the anatomy of the tooth first, to understand the root canal. The pulp, which is a soft material inside your teeth, contains blood vessels, connective tissues, and nerves. Any infection on the pulp will lead to severe pain and a root canal might be necessary to treat the infected pulp. The root canal is a small tube in which nerves enter into the roots of the tooth and run into the pulp chamber. Some teeth may have one, but some may have more. You might need a root canal if there?s an injury or trauma that leads to a pulp infection. If left untreated, this can lead to various dental issues. Problems with the pulp can lead to excess blood flow and cellular activity causing pressure inside the tooth, which cannot be naturally relieved. This causes pain when biting down or when exposed to hot or cold. Sometimes the infection can spread to the bone and leads the tooth to fall out. Don?t wait till a dental problem gets worse. Give
