At the core of each tooth is the pulp, where your teeth’s nerves are placed. When the pulp is injured or unhealthy, the tooth can die causing you pain and swelling. The most common causes of an unhealthy pulp are cracking of the teeth or a deep cavity.

With a root canal procedure, the dentist can remove the pulp and can clean the inner part of the tooth and then seal it off to prevent further damage. A crown placed over the tooth is used to further reinforce it.
