Do I Need Root
Canal Treatment?
Root canal
treatment is needed for two main reasons: infection or irreversible damage
to the pulp. An untreated cavity is a common cause of pulp infection. The
decay erodes the enamel and dentin of the tooth until it opens into the root
canal system, allowing bacteria to infect the pulp. Infections inside teeth
don't respond to antibiotic treatment. The inflammation caused by the
infection restricts the tooth's blood supply, so antibiotics in the
bloodstream can't reach the infection very well. The reduced blood supply
also limits the pulp's ability to heal itself...
