To grasp the importance of dental care, it’s essential to delve into the anatomy of your teeth. The outermost layer, called enamel, protects the tooth and contributes to its color. Dentin, beneath the enamel, supports it. At the core lies the dental pulp, residing within the root canals, housing nerves and blood vessels that nourish the tooth and sense extreme temperatures. When dental pulp becomes infected or decays, endodontic therapy becomes necessary to save the tooth. This procedure involves removing the infected contents, cleaning, disinfecting, and sealing the canal, ultimately eliminating pain and infection.
