A toothache should always be taken seriously by scheduling an appointment with your dentist. A painful tooth might be trying to tell you that there is infection inside one of your teeth that needs root canal therapy.
In this blog post, the Ann Arbor dentists at New Era Dental will go over the signs you might need a root canal therapy. Please keep in mind that this blog post was written to help you better understand a tooth root canal and in no way should replace a visit to an experienced root canal dentist.
You might need a root canal if you experience:
- A tooth darkening in color
- An abscess (or pimple) on the gums
- Prolonged sensitivity to hot and cold
- Severe toothache
- Gum tissue near tooth is swollen and/or tender
Sometimes there are no symptoms to warn you of a tooth infection. For this reason, it’s important to schedule a preventative care appointment with your dentist every six months.
