The main purpose of your tooth’s root is to support the tooth, which it does in several ways. By staying securely within your jawbone, it supports the crown of your tooth while it absorbs the pressure of your bite. Inside the root, the canal offers a way for your jawbone to send your tooth essential nutrients.
In the more severe stages of tooth decay, the infection in your tooth can progress beyond the main structure of your tooth, known as dentin. When it does, it can reach the hollow part of your tooth, known as the pulp, along with the nerves and tissues inside of it. These tissues travel from the pulp through the root of the tooth, and root canal treatment focuses on ensuring these structures stay healthy enough to support your tooth.
National Root Canal Appreciation Day occurs during the American Association of Endodontists Save Your Tooth Month.
