When the pupl of your tooth is infected, our dentists in Turlock may perform endodontic treatment also known as root canal therapy.
The tooth infection can be caused by decay, crack or chip in your tooth and so on.
How did my tooth get infected?
Deep cavities and teeth fracture are very common causes of teeth infection. The pulp of your teeth are exposed due to the infection, and bacteria living in your saliva causes an infection that kills the pulp of your teeth. Without the proper treatment, it will cause an abscess, which can damage the bone of the tooth.
