How Can Your Dentist Treat A Tooth With Pulp Calcification?
Your teeth grow throughout your life even though the obvious external changes tend to end in young adulthood. The cells that create the dentin, the hard colored material under the enamel, can continue to thicken the dentin to the point that internal structures become compromised. The root canal system inside the tooth includes a vital collection of tissue, blood, and nerve cells called the pulp. When the growing dentin pushes into the pulp, this is called pulp calcification.
