Do I need a Root Canal?
If you have been experiencing problems with a tooth, you may ask yourself if you need a root canal. Root canals are the procedure performed when the nerve or pulp of the tooth becomes infected and inflamed due to dental decay, a cracked or broken tooth, or an injury to the tooth.
The most common symptom that may indicate the need for a root canal is the pain. The intensity of the pain resulting from a damaged nerve can range from mild to severe. It may worsen as the day goes on as well as when you bite down on the damaged tooth.
If you notice any of the symptoms, contact your dentist right away. If a damaged tooth is left untreated, it may cause further issues that will affect your overall dental health.
