It's Root Canal Awareness Week! Wondering if you might need a root canal? 🤔
Symptoms can differ, but common signs include:
🦷 Continuous tooth pain, especially when chewing, which can be sharp, throbbing, or shooting pain and may radiate to your jaw or face.
🦷 Intense sensitivity to hot or cold that is persistent and lingers.
🦷 A tooth that has become discolored or dark, suggesting that the pulp is infected and not getting enough blood supply.
🦷 Swelling, redness, or tenderness in the gums near a specific tooth, which could indicate an infection. You might also notice a dental abscess, which looks like a pimple on the gums.
🦷 In some instances, a root canal may be required even if there’s no significant pain, such as after a dental injury or if a crack exposes the pulp.
The biggest advantage of choosing Root Canal Treatment is that it saves your tooth! This means there will be no missing teeth or gaps! Please reach out to our office if you're experiencing any of these symptoms so our expert team can assist you!
