The pulp is a soft, delicate material that makes up the inner structure of a tooth. The tough enamel material that surrounds it normally protects this material. However, if harmful bacteria gain access to the inside pulp, a potentially serious infection can occur. This occurs on occasion as a result of deep cavities or unexpected injuries. If you do not seek treatment, you may lose your tooth. Root canal therapy is an excellent way to treat a serious inner tooth infection. A vital bundle of nerves and blood vessels runs through the center of each tooth, providing nutrients and sensation to each tooth. You are rarely aware of the systems at work as long as the tooth is healthy. However, pain rapidly alters your awareness in any part of your body. Tooth pain is especially concerning, and it serves as a warning sign that something is wrong. Pain indicates that the bundle of nerves and vessels inside your tooth has been irritated, damaged, or attacked. Bacteria can gain access to the inner nerve bundle through a deep cavity. A crack that extends into the same area can cause stress that will require additional attention to alleviate. In some cases, a serious infection in your jaw may develop with no symptoms at all. If your dentist determines that the nerve will not recover or that an infection exists, root canal treatment may be recommended.
