The "tooth root" is the part of the tooth below the gumline, connected by a canal to the anchor in the bone. The tissue that is within the tooth is lost by extraction, but there is also some nerve tissue in the base of the socket. In any event, these nerves usually atrophy, and any transplanted teeth will not have sensory connections.

Your 6 year old lost her front top tooth and now there is a red bump instead of a hole cause for concern?
As the permanent teeth decend, they put pressure on the roots of the deciduous (baby) teeth, dissolving the roots. The teeth get loose and fall out because there is no root to hold them into place anymore. That is why there is no hole when the tooth falls out, because there is no root. The red bump is just tissue and is nothing to be concerned about. After a few days it will go away, or the permanent tooth will erupt through the gums.
How much is a baby root canal?
Baby's tooth are important to save and you should get the root canal done. the reason behind this is that milk teeth keep the space for their successor permanent teeth.

You can visit Paragon Dental if you are in Modesto, California for the baby's dental checkup.
Does a root canal prevent the baby tooth from falling out?
That is its purpose. With the elimination of damaged or infected root tissue, the baby tooth can continue to function in chewing, and hold the position for the permanent tooth that follows it. However, the baby tooth will still eventually be pushed out, or may be extracted at any time.

When you lose a tooth is there still some bone deep inside the gum?
The root of a tooth extends under the gums and is anchored in your jawbone. When you have a tooth pulled, there is a hole in the jaw where the root of the tooth was. This is called the socket. When the dentist pulls the tooth out, there may be chips of bone left over in the socket. The dentist has to break the tooth away from the jawbone in order to make the tooth loose so it can come out. Sometimes when the dentist pulls the tooth out, the tooth can break and a little bit of the root can be left in the socket. The dentist will try to get this out by drilling down into the jawbone with the drill to loosen the broken tooth root. If the piece of root is too close to the sinus (upper tooth) or jaw nerve (lower tooth), the dentist may decide it is best to leave the piece of root in the jaw.
If you had a Root Canal approx four months ago Can you still have the permanent crown put on?
Absolutely. In general, it's best to have a tooth that's had root canal therapy, especially a posterior (back) tooth, crowned as soon as possible to avoid having it break or fracture. Failing to do this could result in loss of the tooth.
