⚠️ The tooth you’re trying to save… might already be dead inside. A root canal doesn’t “kill” a tooth—it actually removes infection from a space that’s already been damaged or dying. Inside every tooth is a living nerve and blood supply, and when bacteria reach it, the process can happen silently. Sometimes there’s pain. Sometimes there’s none at all. But once that inner tissue is compromised, the infection doesn’t just go away—it spreads. A root canal is what stops it, cleans it, and gives the tooth a second chance to stay in your mouth instead of being lost. #rootcanal #toothache #toothpain #rct #dentistry
