invasion. The procedure of Root Canal or endodontictreatment includes removal of the infected or damaged pulp from the diseased
tooth. After that the hollow pulp chamber and root canals are cleaned, filled
and sealed. This set of procedures is commonly referred to as a root canal.

common causes of pulp damage or death are:

- A deep cavity
- An injury to a tooth, such as a severe knock to the tooth, either recent or in the past.

pulp is infected or dead, if left untreated, pus can build up at the root tip
in the jawbone, forming an abscess. An abscess can destroy the bone surrounding
the tooth and cause pain

that of conventional manual toothbrushes.

Sealant Application
Dental sealants are thin plastic
coatings that are applied to the grooves on the chewing surfaces of the
back teeth to protect them from tooth decay. Most tooth decay in
children and teens occurs on these surfaces. Sealants protect the
chewing surfaces from tooth decay by keeping germs and food particles
out of these grooves.
Dental Tips

- Brush at least twice a day with soft toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste.
- Use an inter-dental brush daily to remove food particles in-between teeth.
