Why should I attend my dentist regularly?
If you need a root canal the blood vessels and nerves which are inside the tooth are infected or the tissue has died. To cure this infection and save your tooth we need to remove these blood vessels and nerves, clean inside of the roots of your tooths of your tooth and seal it to prevent re-infection.
Decay left untreated can leave you needing root canal treatment. The bacteria that caused the filling initially progresses deeper eventually reaching the internal parts of your tooth and causing infection.
Teeth requiring root canals should be treated as soon as possible, delaying treatment can lead to bone loss, loose teeth and infection spreading to other teeth.
