	Tooth Decay: Encyclopedia of Medicine
		As the decay spreads inward into the middle layer (the dentin), the tooth becomes more sensitive to temperature and touch.
		When the decay reaches the center of the tooth (the pulp), the resulting inflammation (pulpitis) produces a toothache.
		It may be found during a routine six-month dental checkup before the patient is even aware of a problem.

	Root canal treatment (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		Root canal treatment, also known as endodontic treatment, is a dental procedure in which the diseased or damaged pulp (core) of a tooth is removed and the inside areas (the pulp chamber and root canals) are filled and sealed.
		Inflamed or infected pulp (pulpitis) most often causes a toothache.
		To relieve the pain and prevent further complications, the tooth may be extracted (surgically removed) or saved by root canal treatment.
