Signs You May Need Root Canal Treatment
Severe tooth pain, prolonged sensitivity, or swelling may be signs of nerve inflammation, and early diagnosis can help save the tooth.
Root canal treatment is an important dental procedure aimed at saving an infected tooth instead of removing it. Dentists usually recommend it when decay or infection reaches the inner part of the tooth where the nerve is located.
Signs that may indicate the need for root canal treatment include severe or persistent pain, pain while chewing, strong sensitivity to hot or cold that lasts after eating or drinking, swelling in the gums, or darkening of the tooth.
Delaying a dental visit may worsen the pain or allow the infection to spread, so early evaluation is very important. After clinical assessment and dental imaging, the dentist can determine whether root canal treatment or another procedure is needed.
