The main purpose of periodontitis treatment is to get rid of pockets and decrease inflammation from the affected area. A large number of people who are suffered from periodontitis can be efficiently treated by making use of noninvasive treatments.

If one has pockets between the teeth and gums that are 5mm or less than 5mm in deepness, one can be the best candidate for root planning and scaling. In some cases, antibiotic treatment is also used to reduce periodontitis. If one constantly does good dental care at home, this perhaps the only way to treat that one requires.

Inside the hard outer shell of each tooth is a specialized area called the pulp or nerve chamber. The pulp chamber contains a system of blood vessels, lymph vessels and nerves, the pulp, which enter from the bone through the root canals. This system provides nourishment for the cells within the tooth.

Deep tooth decay or other injury can cause damage to or infection of the tooth pulp. In a root canal or endodontic treatment, the dentist removes the damaged or infected pulp and replaces it with a special filler which helps maintain the remaining tooth structure.

Some indications of the need for root canal treatment may be:

• Spontaneous pain or throbbing while biting.
• Sensitivity to hot and cold foods.
• Severe decay or an injury that creates an abscess (infection) in the bone.
