A root canal is a treatment for tooth decay in the nerve of the tooth. It usually affects the back teeth, which are harder to clean and more prone to tooth decay. If you don\u2019t treat tooth decay, it can spread to the surrounding tissue and cause a large abscess, or infection, in your jaw. You might need antibiotics or surgery to treat the infection. If you have a root canal, you can keep the tooth and avoid future problems.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-rounded\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/royalimplant.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/imgpsh_fullsize_anim-2-900x900.jpg\" alt=\"tooth decay treatment\" class=\"wp-image-3869\" width=\"482\" height=\"482\" title=\"\"><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is the best treatment for tooth?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fillings.&nbsp;They are also called restorations, are the main treatment option when decay has progressed beyond the earliest stage.

Crowns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-causes-the-worst-case-of-tooth-decay\">What causes the worst case of tooth decay?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hard to say. Tooth decay is caused by bacteria that form plaque on your teeth. Plaque is a sticky film that coats your teeth. It\u2019s made up of bits of food, bacteria, and saliva. If plaque isn\u2019t removed, it hardens into a rough, porous substance called tartar. The longer tartar stays on your teeth, the greater your risk for tooth decay. You can\u2019t see it, but it\u2019s there waiting to attack your teeth.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-rounded\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/royalimplant.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Blog-Dental-Cavity-Germs-or-Worms-1200x895-1-900x671.png\" alt=\"tooth decay cavities\" class=\"wp-image-15453\" width=\"373\" height=\"278\" title=\"\"><figcaption>Painful Tooth<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-why-does-tooth-treatment-hurt-so-much\">Why does tooth treatment hurt so much?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Well, you\u2019re effectively trying to remove a chunk of a tooth from your gums. It\u2019s a process that causes a lot of pain. The pressure exerted against the gum tissues can cause significant discomfort, swelling, and bleeding, leading to a trip to the dentist. You can ease the pain a little by rinsing with warm salt water or baking soda water, but you can\u2019t avoid it altogether.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-royal-dental-clinics-blog wp-block-embed-royal-dental-clinics-blog\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"kzRz0bNdQA\"><a href=\"https:\/\/royalimplant.com\/blogs\/can-tooth-decay-lead-to-other-complications\/\">Can tooth decay lead to other complications?<\/a><\/blockquote><iframe class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);\" title=\"&#8220;Can tooth decay lead to other complications?&#8221; &#8212; Royal Dental Clinics Blog\" src=\"https:\/\/royalimplant.com\/blogs\/can-tooth-decay-lead-to-other-complications\/embed\/#?secret=Nllmwl1H65#?secret=kzRz0bNdQA\" data-secret=\"kzRz0bNdQA\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-do-you-fix-it\">How do you fix it?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>There are two scenarios:<\/strong> The tooth is still salvageable or you\u2019ve got to pull it.
