Does Your Tooth Need a Root Canal?
Root canals are typically performed when decay reaches past the outer layers of teeth and infects the vulnerable tissue and nerves inside the tooth. This includes the pulp where the root lies as well as the many nerve endings responsible for sending pain signals to the brain. An infected root is characterized by many symptoms, including:
- Severe pain in your tooth either while chewing or just in general
- Extended sensitivity, particularly to hot and cold stimuli
- Darkening of the tooth, typically either brown, gray or black in color
- Pimples on the gums, usually around the area of discomfort
- Swelling or tenderness in the gums
