A dentist has taken to TikTok to explain why a root canal is necessary after a tooth has been broken in half - but the stomach-churning video has left people squirming
Many individuals harbour a fear of the dentist, often due to unpleasant experiences either personally endured or heard about from others.
This process involves the removal of the tooth's damaged inner section, followed by a thorough cleaning of the interior, and then filling it to prevent further harm. However, despite many people feeling less anxious when they are well-informed, a video shared online by a dentist detailing this treatment has left viewers rather unnerved.
To save a tooth, the dentist must "clean up the decay and get the healthy tooth structure." He elaborates: "If the cavity is very deep, it's going to reach the pulp. And then in order to save it, you need to do a root canal which is what's going to happen here. "It tells us where the bottom of the root is, so we know how far down to clean and fill. Once they're done filling the canals. They're also going to put a post down there so they can build up the tooth.
