Formation of Tooth
It is imperative to understand how the infection appears before you go for the root canal treatment. To enable you to understand this, you must know the formation of a tooth:
The tooth is divided into the root and the crown. The root extends into the bone that is not visible and holds the tooth in place. The crown is the visible part of the tooth that develops below the gums and then erupts into place.

The root canal treatment is the process undertaken to save the tooth. It makes the damaged tooth strong once the infection is cleared.
