Is root canal therapy necessary for filling teeth?

summary

Our crowns are made up of enamel, dentin and pulp (neurovascular, etc.) from outside to inside. Cariogenic bacteria decompose and ferment the residual food residue in the crevices of tooth surface pits to produce acid. After a long time, enamel is eroded by acid and gradually forms caries (tooth decay and insect tooth), and irreversibly continues to rot big and deep, getting closer and closer to dental pulp. When it is cold and hot, it is sensitive to acid and sweet, and food embeds in pain, which eventually leads to dental pulp inflammation. If it does not eat, it will also have spontaneous sharp pain and nocturnal pain. So let's take a look at the root canal therapy for filling teeth? What about it?
