Taking care of the teeth is important to maintain a healthy pulp. If you don’t practice good dental hygiene, an accumulation of food debris (plaque) will cause dental caries.
Teeth are hard anatomical organs located in the gums. They consist of the crown (the visible part of the tooth) and the root. Despite appearing to be a hard tissue, not everything is hard.
Root infections are lesions caused by the presence of bacteria. Depending upon their location, they can be divided into intraradicular (inside the canal) or extraradicular (outside the canal) lesions.
They occur in both adults and children. In fact, in children this type of infection is frequent given the consumption of sugars in milk combined with poor oral hygiene.
