Do You Need a Root Canal?

If you have an infected tooth, you may need root canal therapy to clear out the infection. You can have infected teeth without symptoms. When you have symptoms, they may include:

  • Deep tooth pain or radiating discomfort to jaw/face/other teeth may signal infection.
  • Pressure on a tooth triggering pain can suggest nerve damage.
  • Gum swelling/tenderness near infected tooth indicates bacteria buildup.
  • Visible pimple on gums means serious inflammation & pus draining.
  • Nearby jaw swelling = blocked pus escaping from infected tooth.
  • Darkening of tooth color signifies restricted blood flow due to pulpal infection.
  • Weakened bone structure & looseness imply pus affecting tooth support.
