NORMAL TOOTH STRUCTURE AND ITS LAYERS

To understand a root canal treatment (RCT) better, it is good to know something about the basic structure of the tooth. Tooth is like a coconut (outer shell is hard and inner core is soft) , inside the tooth, under the white enamel and a hard layer of dentin, is a soft tissue called the pulp. The pulp contains blood vessels and nerves of the tooth. When a tooth gets decayed, the infection spreads from enamel through dentin to pulp causing injury to the nerve and blood supply of the tooth which results in need of a RCT for the tooth.

Root canal treatment in a tooth is necessary when the dental pulp, the soft tissue inside the tooth, becomes damaged or infected with germs. The dental infection can have a variety of causes: deep decay or cavity, dental infection through gums or a crack or chip in the tooth. In addition, a dental injury to a tooth may cause pulp damage even if the tooth has no visible chips or cracks. If this dental infection is left untreated, it can cause dental pain or lead to a dental abscess (spread to the bone and other teeth).
