This procedure removes dental pulp when it has become dead or infected. Dental pulp is the soft core of the tooth. It contains nerves, blood vessels, and connective tissue. The pulp extends from the top of the tooth, called the crown, all the way down to The Roots, in branches called canals.
Dental pulp may become infected Because of:
* An untreated cavity
* Trauma to the tooth
* Gum disease (more…)
