• Inside the tooth, under the white enamel and a hard layer called the dentin, is a soft tissue called the pulp.  The pulp contains blood vessels, nerves and connective tissue, and helps to grow the root of your tooth during development.

  ​

• RCT removes infected pulp tissue and bacteria inside a tooth's pulp canals.​

​

• A fully-developed tooth can then survive without the pulp because it can be supported by the periodontal tissues surrounding it.​
