Why Root Canals Are Important
Root canals are necessary when your inner tooth becomes inflamed or infected. If left untreated, this condition can cause severe pain, abscesses and tooth loss. A root canal removes the infection, restores the tooth and prevents further complications.
Signs You May Need a Root Canal
If you experience any of the following symptoms, you may need root canal therapy:
- Severe, lingering tooth pain
- Sensitivity to hot or cold temperatures
- Swollen or tender gums
- Darkened or discolored teeth
- Pimple-like bumps on the gums
Our team can evaluate your symptoms and recommend the most appropriate treatment to protect your smile.
