Shree Jayam Oral and Dental Clinic

 Have you ever experienced a persistent toothache or sensitivity that just doesn’t go away? It might be more than just a cavity — your tooth could be infected deep inside, and the solution might be a root canal treatment (RCT). Despite common myths, root canals are safe, effective, and often the only way to save a natural tooth from extraction. At Shree Jayam Oral & Dental Clinic, Ambattur, we believe in educating our patients before starting any treatment. So let’s understand why a root canal is sometimes necessary — and how it can save your smile. 🧪 What Exactly Is a Root Canal?

But what looks like a harmless discoloration or tiny hole could be the beginning of a deeper dental problem. Tooth decay doesn’t stop on its own—and by the time pain starts, the damage is already serious. 🔬 What Really Happens to That Small Cavity? Cavities are caused by acids produced by bacteria that live on sugary food and plaque. Here’s how they progress: 1. Stage 1 – Enamel Decay: The outermost layer gets demineralized. At this stage, you may not even feel it. 2. Stage 2 – Dentin Involvement: The decay progresses into the softer inner layer. You may start noticing mild sensitivity. 3. Stage 3 – Pulp Infection: Once the decay reaches the nerve-rich pulp, you may experience severe pain, swelling, or even abscess formation. 4. Sta...
