Signs You Need a Root Canal Treatment
Commons signs of an infection in the tooth include:
- Intense tooth pain when eating or when applying any pressure to the area
- Sensitivity or pain to hot or cold that lasts after the food or beverage has been removed
- Darkening or discoloration of the tooth
- Swelling or tenderness of the gums near the area of a toothache
- A small, pimple-like bump on the gum near the area to tooth pain
Even if you have some of these symptoms, not all types of teeth pain will require a root canal. It’s important to see your dentist if you experience any of the above. They will be able to properly access your teeth and gums to determine the cause and the solution.
Why Do I Need to Get a Root Canal Therapy?
If you’re suffering from tooth pain and your dentist tells you that you’ll need a root canal, chances are the pain is enough that you won’t hesitate to have the procedure. However, sometimes, your dentist will inform you that you need a root canal and you don’t feel any pain. Why go through with the procedure then?
Just because there is no pain, doesn’t mean the tooth is okay. If the tooth pulp is damaged or decayed, eventually at some point it will become infected, which will cause pain or ultimately require the tooth to be pulled. The whole point of a root canal is to save the tooth and repair the tooth so that it doesn’t need to be extracted.
