The outermost and hardest layer is enamel, and the second layer is dentin. The third is pulp, which is the cavernous space where the live tissue and nerve of each tooth is located.</span></div><div class="style2" style="color: #4f4331; text-align: left;"><div style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="root canal" class="image_border" height="155" src="http://solution21.net/images/dentist/2009/root_canal1.jpg" /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div></div><div class="style2" style="color: #4f4331; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">If for any reason the pulp space is exposed to the outside, the tissue becomes contaminated and eventually infected. The exposure of pulp happens in many circumastances, such as when you have a large cavity or a fractured tooth. Your dentist can explain the exact reason for damage to this tissue. In these cases, the treatment is usually root canal treatment.</span></div><div class="style2" style="color: #4f4331; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div class="style1" style="color: #4f4331; text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Root canal treatment is the process of goingaaa inside the pulp space and removing the infected, dead tissue. The space is then disinfected and sealed with special materials. Nowadays, root canal treatments are performed with advanced techniques and materials, making them far more comfortable and faster. After root canal treatment is complete, your restorative dentist will usually place a crown on your tooth to safeguard against fracture.</span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Contact Dr. Mansouri or Dr. Cho today for your Endodontic needs 949-662-0055 or make an <a href="http://www.irvineendodontics.com/contact_us.htm">appointment </a>today!</span></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8706674143673902631-2671882326117990629?l=irvineendodontics.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Irvine Endodontics Bloghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09936149160190720621noreply@blogger.com2
