What can root damage lead to?
Disease, infection and, eventually, tooth loss. Endodontic problems are very serious, and should be treated as soon as possible.

How is root damage fixed?
Typically, you will have to undergo a root canal. This is a procedure where an opening is created in your tooth, the infection is cleaned out and the tooth is sealed against further infection. While no one wants to undergo a root canal, it is the best way to prevent significant future dental problems.
