What is root canal treatment?
A "root canal" is a component of a tooth, not a medical procedure. The pulp, commonly referred to as the
hollow part of a tooth, is where the nerves, blood vessels, and other cells are located.
The crown and roots make up a tooth. The roots are primarily below the gum, whereas the crown is mostly
above it. The tooth is joined to the jawbone via the roots.
The pulp is located inside the crown and the root, or the root canal. The pulp hydrates the tissue around the
tooth and feeds it nutrients. The pulp's nerves interpret heat and cold as painful.
The term "root canal" actually refers to a dentistry procedure called endodontic therapy, which means "within
the tooth.".
But the phrase "root canal" is now frequently used to refer to the surgery.
Prevention:
Dentists advise the following measures to avoid infections, tooth decay, and gum
disease:
Using fluoride-containing toothpaste
Using an appropriate toothbrush and changing it frequently
Obtaining routine dental examinations and cleanings
Using floss to clean in between teeth and stop plaque accumulation
Maintaining a healthy diet and staying away from sugary drinks and meals.
