Signs You May Need a Root Canal

Root canal treatment may be needed when the soft tissue inside a tooth becomes inflamed or infected. This can happen because of deep decay, cracks, trauma, or repeated dental work.

Symptoms can include lingering sensitivity to hot or cold, severe toothache, pain when biting, swelling, gum tenderness, or darkening of the tooth.

The goal of a root canal is to remove infection, relieve pain, and preserve the natural tooth whenever possible.
