If there is a deep cavity, a cracked tooth, or a loose filling, bacteria can enter the pulp causing pulp infection.Without treatment, the infection will spread further and eventually, the tooth will become loose and need extraction of the same.Some patients opt for extraction, especially if it hurts a lot or if the tooth cannot be restored. Root canal therapy will save the tooth and eliminate the pain.If the tooth cannot be saved, the next best option is an implant. Best is to save the natural tooth whenever possible, because nothing functions as well as a natural tooth.
