Root Canal Treatment is done in the Roots of Teeth that were damaged due to deep caries that reached the tooth nerve causing severe pain when exposed to hot or cold food or water.
Nerve infection, if not treated correctly, will lead to swelling in the gums and an abscess may form, or lead to a dead pulp and therefore tooth loss.
Most teeth after filling will need a crown since they become fragile and it is not recommended to eat on them before the crowns is completed .
You must follow the dentist’s instructions right after the root canal treatment to ensure long term survival of the remaining tooth structure.
