Endodontic Procedure
An endodontic procedure also called a root canal, treats the inside of your tooth. This treatment is necessary when the soft tissue inside the root canal "the pulp" becomes infected or inflamed. A infection or inflammation can have numerous causes, such as deep decay, chipped and cracked teeth, or repeated dental procedures on the tooth. If if left untreated, the pulp infection or inflammation can be very painful and can cause an Abscess.
Erupting
When a new tooth joins, dentists say its "erupting". In most cases, all the permanent teeth have erupted by the age of 21.
