🦷Root Canal Fact of the Week🦷:
Once the pulp dies within the tooth, the infection process is gradual and may eventually produce symptoms such as swelling, sensitivity to hot or cold and pain to pressure or bite.
What is tooth pulp exactly and is it important?
Pulp is the tissue located in the interior of the tooth that contains the tooth's blood vessels, connective tissues and nerves that extends all the way through the canals of the tooth. The nerves, blood vessels and connective tissues are what helps the tooth interpret its environment and keeps it healthy from the inside out.
