Root Canal Treatment

Root Canal treatments are necessary when the pulp, the soft tissue inside the root canal, becomes inflamed or infected. The inflammation or infection can be caused by a variety of reasons; deep decay, repeated dental procedures on the tooth, or a crack or chip in the tooth. Besides, an injury to a tooth may cause pulp damage even if the tooth has no visible chips or cracks. If pulp inflammation or infection is left untreated, it can cause pain or lead to an abscess.
