When somebody does not take good care of their teeth this can lead to a lot of decay of the teeth which then makes the procedure of a root canal necessary. A root canal is when you take the nerve out of the tooth. The nerve is not something that is vital to have to have a healthy mouth. All the nerve does is sense whether something is hot or cold.
By not getting a root canal you are risking the side effects of:
- Swelling that may spread to other areas of the face,neck, or head
- Bone loss around the tip of the root
- Drainage problems extending outward from the root. A hole can occure through the side of the tooth with drainage into the gums or through the cheek with drainage in to the skin.
