Signs You Might Need a Root Canal

If you’re experiencing any of the following symptoms, it could indicate that you need a root canal:

Severe Tooth Pain: Persistent pain when chewing or applying pressure is often a sign of an infected tooth.
Prolonged Sensitivity: Lingering sensitivity to hot or cold, especially after the source is removed, can indicate nerve damage.
Swollen or Tender Gums: Swelling around the affected tooth or a small bump (abscess) on the gums could mean the tooth’s pulp is infected.
Tooth Discoloration: A darkening of the tooth may suggest internal damage to the pulp.
Cracked or Chipped Tooth: Even if a crack doesn’t hurt immediately, it can expose the pulp to bacteria, leading to infection.

If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, it’s important to seek treatment as soon as possible to prevent further damage or infection.

Is a root canal painful?

Thanks to modern dental techniques and local anesthesia, root canals are virtually painless. Most patients report feeling no more discomfort than during a routine filling.

‍

How long does a root canal take?

The procedure typically takes about 90 minutes, depending on the complexity of the case. In some cases, a second appointment may be needed to complete the treatment.

Will my tooth need special care after a root canal?

Once your tooth is fully restored with a crown, it should function just like your natural teeth. You’ll just need to maintain good oral hygiene and visit your dentist regularly.

Can a root canal fail?

While root canals are highly successful, there is a small chance that the infection could return. In these cases, a retreatment or additional procedure may be necessary.

How much does a root canal cost?

The cost of a root canal varies depending on the complexity of the case and the type of restoration needed. During your consultation, we’ll provide a detailed estimate and discuss available payment options.

Are there alternatives to a root canal?

The only alternative to a root canal is extracting the tooth and replacing it with a bridge or dental implant. However, keeping your natural tooth is always the preferred option when possible.
