Root Canal Treatment

Root canals are performed to protect the calcified tissue of the tooth. It helps maintain the integrity of the jawbone. If an entire tooth is extracted, the space between adjacent teeth can cause them to shift, unless a bridge or implant is placed directly there. Therefore, root canal treatment is recommended to protect the tooth during infection. The dentist will consider the thickness of the calcified structure as it becomes more brittle and prone to fracture. Therefore, in order to preserve and restore the structure of a tooth, crown placement is usually performed.
