  1. THINGS to avoid during ROOT CANAL TREATMENT

  2. What is a root canal treatment?

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

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. 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.
