- CrownsA tooth needs endodontic treatment when its pulp or “nerve” is damaged. Common causes include deep cavities, extensive restorations (fillings, crowns or bridges), trauma and hairline fractures. Teeth in this condition can be extremely uncomfortable or completely symptom-free. While it might be tempting to leave pulp-damaged symptom-free teeth alone, they will eventually cause abscesses and are better treated before that happens. Endodontic treatment involves removing remnants of the pulp, meticulously cleaning the canals, and then sealing the canals with an inert material.
