Root Canal therapy is required if the pulp/nerve in a tooth becomes damaged or infected. This can happen if there is a large amount of decay, a very deep filling, cracks present in the tooth or the tooth has sustained some form of trauma.
The pulp chamber is the central part of the tooth which houses the nerves & blood vessels. If these becomes damaged or infected you may experience pain and or swelling. Occasionally the nerves can die & become infected painlessly & problems only become evident if the tooth changes colour or if we see signs of infection in the surrounding bone on an x-ray.
