Root resorption

Root resorption is a process where the body breaks down tissues surrounding the tooth and absorbs this tissue. Stated more simply, the body starts eating its own tooth. There are different areas within your mouth where the resorption may start: Internal resorption – this starts at the inner surface of the tooth’s root. External resorption – this starts at an outer surface where the root connects to the jawbone. This is the most common form of resorption.
