According to the Guinness Book of Records, tooth decay, or caries, is the most widespread non-infectious disease in the world. It is the deterioration of tooth tissue caused by poor oral hygiene and a diet high in carbohydrates. If tooth decay is not treated in time and spreads, it can damage the dental nerve. In this case, the root canal is treated, and the tooth is then filled and replaced with a prosthesis. It is therefore important not only to brush your teeth properly, but also to have regular preventive check-ups.
