Signs You Need Root Canal Therapy

Toothache when drinking hot or cold liquids or foods
Sensitivity to tapping or pressure on the tooth
Radiating pain from one area of the mouth to another
Chipped or cracked teeth
Swollen painful gums
Deep decay or darkened gums

Regular professional examination and cleaning can control the presence and extent of tooth decay, and reduce your chance of requiring a root canal.

Root Canal Treatment Process

The process involves thorough cleaning and disinfection of the infected area. After this, the root canals are filled with special materials and sealed with a filling. The dentist may recommend that you give your tooth a few days to heal. After the healing period, a crown is fixed above the treated area. This crown is designed to offer strength to your tooth and also makes it appear natural.
