Signs that you need Root Canal Treatment

Root Canal Treatment is very common procedure to treat and save your tooth, But is still feared by many patients. With the advancement in technology, it is much safer, painless and successful way to save an infected or damaged tooth.

But how do you know that you need a root canal? Are there some telltale signs? We are going to tell you here about the symptoms that may indicate you need a root canal.

Symptoms:

1. Constant Pain- you are experiencing sudden, searing pain in your mouth without warning, it might be a sign that the tooth has an infection or is dead and requires immediate attention.
   
2. Discoloration of Your Tooth- Your tooth can become discolored if there is an infection in the pulp. If your tooth is turning blackish or grey in tone, it may be due to due to damage to the roots caused by a breakdown of the internal tissue or trauma to the tooth.
   
3. Sensitivity to Heat and Cold- Does your tooth hurt when you eat warm food or when you drink a cup of coffee? Or perhaps your tooth feels sensitive when you eat ice cream or drink an icy-cold glass of water. The sensitivity could feel like a dull ache or a sharp pain.
   
4. Swollen gums - Swollen gums near the painful tooth can be a sign of an issue that requires a root canal. The swelling may come and go. It may be tender when you touch it, or it may not be painful to the touch.
   
5. A Cracked or Chipped Tooth- If you’ve chipped or cracked your tooth in an accident, in a contact sport, or by chewing on something hard, bacteria can set in and lead to inflammation and infection. Even if the tooth doesn’t crack or chip and it’s just injured, it can still damage the nerves to a point you are in need of a root canal therapy.
   
6. Pain when you eat or touch the tooth- If your tooth is sensitive when you touch it or when you eat, it could indicate severe tooth decay or nerve damage, which may need to be treated with a root canal.
   
7. Tooth mobility- When your tooth is infected, it may feel looser. If more than one tooth feels loose, the mobility is likely to have a cause other than an issue that may need a root canal.
