What's a root canal?

Answer 1

Once upon a time, if you had a tooth with a diseased nerve, you'd probably lose that tooth. Today, with a special dental procedure called a root canal therapy you may save that tooth. Inside each tooth is the pulp which provides nutrients and nerves to the tooth, it runs like a thread down through the root. When the pulp is diseased or injured, the pulp tissue dies. If you don't remove it, your tooth gets infected and you could lose it. After the dentist removes the pulp, the root canal is cleaned and sealed off to protect it. Then your dentist places a crown over the tooth to help make it stronger.

Most of the time, a root canal is a relatively simple procedure with little or no discomfort involving one to three visits. Best of all, it can save your tooth and your smile!

Answer 2

It is a treatment performed by a dentist where the nerve is 'killed". The infection in the tooth is removed and medication is applied to the tooth inside.The dentist just drills the tooth like any other tooth problem or cavity It is an uncomfortable process but it saves the tooth in most cases.

Answer 3

it's a condition that is caused from unkempt teeth. it's a procedure in which they drain the tooth from all it's life. The tooth will no longer be able to 'take in' blood and nutrients (including water). So the tooth will eventually loose color and look dim and brownish. alot of times ,,,they are capped afterwards. People should brush and floss everyday to prevent decay in thier teeth.
