When Do You Need a Root Canal
Root canal therapy is often necessary when the inner pulp of a tooth becomes infected or inflamed. This may occur due to various factors, including deep decay, dental injuries, or tooth cracks. While tooth pain is the most common sign, other symptoms may include:
- Lingering sensitivity to hot or cold foods
- Throbbing sensation in a tooth
- Swelling or tenderness in the gums
- Discoloration of the affected tooth
- Pimple-like bumps or pus around the gums
- Difficulty chewing or biting
- Facial swelling near the infected area
If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, don’t wait too long, as they can cause further complications. Early treatment with a root canal can prevent further damage and help preserve your natural teeth.
Is Root Canal Treatment Painful
We understand that many patients feel anxious about undergoing root canals, as this treatment is often perceived as painful. The truth is that it can actually help relieve pain, often immediately, by removing the infected or diseased pulp tissues from the tooth.
To make the process comfortable, we will thoroughly numb the area, so you will likely not feel pain or soreness during treatment. In addition, our dentists use cutting-edge tools to target only the infected tissues and avoid any harm to your healthy tooth structure and gums. This also helps speed up the healing period, allowing you to return to your daily routine soon.
