Root Canal Treatment The facts The inside of a tooth comprises a chamber known as the "pulp cavity" and channels known as "Root canals" which comprise nerves and blood vessels that give sensation and bring nutrients to the tooth.

2. Trauma, decay and poor oral health can cause the nerve within the tooth to die or the insides of the tooth can become infected when bacteria gets in through damaged or weakened enamel, or when a restoration such as a filling or crown becomes loose. Symptoms of a damaged nerve Sometimes, pain might be the first indication that a tooth is infected but often it can go undetected because the nerves in damaged teeth can die slowly, desensitising it over time. If left untreated, the tooth can become discoloured, heavily infected or cystic leading to tooth or even bone loss. Prevention This is why regular dental check-ups are an important step in the maintenance of a healthy smile. We have several tests, including temperature testing, percussion testing, transillumination under magnification, X-rays and CBCT scans that allow us to identify if a tooth has died and to decide if it requires root canal treatment to prevent acute pain from developing.
