In the world of dentistry, root canal is such a term which signifies both the problem area and treatment. Root canal is the inner part of the tooth, where pulp can be found which contains nerves, fluid and capillaries. The pulp could be infected, and that can cause mild as well as severe pain. In such cases, the infected part of the pulp has to be removed through a surgical method. This method is also known as root canal. NW Austin Family Dentistry offers root canal treatment with precision, assuring the quickest and painless process.

Why Root Canal Happens?

Root canal pain occurs, when pulp inside tooth is infected. If the infected part is not removed, the infection will start spreading out. As a result, mild pain will turn into severe pain and it can also start oozing blood from the root of teeth. Causes of root canal are discussed below.

• Root canal pain is triggered due to rapid tooth decay and it can potentially happen due to malnutrition, lack of calcium, etc.
• Firm hit or blow on the teeth can damage the pulp inside and this could possible cause root canal pain.
• Bacterial infection can spread from gum to the root canal area. Due to the infection, root canal pain is encountered.
