What Is a Root Canal?
Designed to save teeth impacted by infection or decay, a root canal involves carefully removing the infected pulp, cleaning the tooth’s interior, and sealing it to restore its function. Modern root canals are safe, effective, and much more comfortable than many people expect.
At Radiant Smiles Family & Cosmetic Dentistry, we specialize in making the process as painless as possible, using advanced technology and gentle techniques to ensure your comfort.
Signs You May Need a Root Canal
Knowing the warning signs of a dental issue can help you take action before the problem worsens. Here are some common teeth warning signs that may indicate the need for a root canal:
- Persistent Toothache: Pain that lingers or intensifies, especially when chewing or applying pressure.
- Sensitivity to Hot or Cold: A sharp, lingering temperature sensitivity, even after removing the source.
- Swollen or Tender Gums: Inflammation around the affected tooth, sometimes accompanied by a small pimple or abscess.
- Tooth Discoloration: A darkening or grayish appearance of the tooth, often due to internal damage.
- Recurring Pimples on the Gums can indicate an infection in the tooth’s root.
If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, seeking professional care is crucial. Left untreated, the infection can spread, leading to more extensive issues, such as tooth loss or bone damage.
