More about root canal treatment
There are many reasons why you might need a root canal. A root canal might be indicated if you have suffered trauma to the tooth from an accident or injury. Deep dental decay is also a frequent reason why a root canal might be needed.
If you need a root canal, there is nothing to fear. A root canal simply involves removing diseased tissue inside your tooth and replacing it with a sedative material that eliminates infection and fluid buildup, relieving pressure and pain. After your painful symptoms have subsided, the sedative material is removed and replaced with an inert material that is left inside your tooth, and that’s it!
There are several signs and symptoms you might need a root canal, including:
- Tooth pain that increases with exposure to hot and cold foods or beverages
- Sharp, stabbing tooth pain when you bite down or chew
- Dull, aching tooth pain that never goes away
- A red or white bump appearing on your gums
- Blood or pus draining from the bump on your gums
- A tooth becoming darker or grayer compared to the teeth next to it
