Root canal treatment is generally performed in the following situations:

• Deep cavities: When a cavity reaches the pulp layer of the tooth, causing inflammation or infection.
• Trauma: Damage to the pulp occurs as a result of a blow to the tooth.
• Tooth abscess: Infection spreads to the tooth root, forming an abscess.
• Advanced gum disease: Gum disease can progress and damage the tooth root.

To prevent and manage bad breath, you can follow these steps:

• Regular Oral Care: Brushing your teeth at least twice a day, using dental floss, and cleaning your tongue are important.
• Dental Check-ups: Regular dental check-ups help maintain your oral health.
• Hydration: Drinking plenty of water can help prevent dry mouth.
• Healthy Diet: A balanced diet supports oral health and can reduce bad breath.
• Mouthwashes: Anti-bacterial mouthwashes can temporarily help eliminate bad breath.

Tooth sensitivity can arise from various reasons:

• Enamel Erosion: The thinning or wearing down of tooth enamel exposes the underlying dentin layer, leading to sensitivity.
• Teeth Grinding or Clenching: Habitual teeth grinding or clenching can wear down teeth and cause sensitivity.
• Tooth Decay: Cavities can result in enamel loss and contribute to sensitivity.
• Gum Recession: Receding gums expose tooth roots, leading to increased sensitivity.
• Teeth Whitening: Improper or excessive teeth whitening procedures can trigger tooth sensitivity.
• Acidic Foods: Consuming foods and beverages with high acidity can erode enamel and lead to sensitivity.
• Cracked or Chipped Teeth: Cracks or chips in teeth can cause sensitivity.
• It’s crucial to identify the cause of tooth sensitivity and address it with proper dental care and advice.

Your dentist may recommend the extraction of wisdom teeth due to pain, inflammation, decay, or other health issues. Additionally, extraction might be necessary if they don’t align well with your jaw structure or if they exert pressure on other teeth.
