Root Canal At Dumont,NJ
Root Canal Therapy Near You
Your teeth consist of several layers to help protect them. The three layers are the enamel, dentin, and pulp. The enamel is the outermost layer and is also the strongest and protects the dentin and pulp. The pulp is the space inside of the tooth where the live tissue and nerves of each tooth reside. When patients have a problem with the pulp of the tooth becoming exposed to the outside, it can contaminate the tissues and cause an infection.
What can cause the pulp of a tooth to become exposed?
There are several causes of pulp exposure. They include:
- A broken or fractured tooth
- A large cavity
- Chronic tooth grinding and clenching (bruxism)
Regardless of the cause of pulp exposure, there is a solution: root canal therapy.
