Signs & Symptoms Of A Root Canal Problem



Root Canal Problems & Treatment by Campbellford Dentist

Root Canal Problems

Individuals experiencing issues with their teeth might ask themselves whether they will require a root canal treatment. Root canals, also referred to as endodontic therapy is a procedure that is done by your dentist when the pulp or nerve of your teeth become infected or inflamed. This can happen due to oral health issues such as crocked, broken teeth resulting from an injury or tooth decay. 

You may be experiencing several symptoms that might be a sign of a root canal problem. One of the most common symptoms is tooth pain. The tooth pain can range from very mild to painful. You may experience a fluctuation of tooth pain throughout the day. The pain may also get more intense when you chew on food. It is very common for patients that are experiencing a root canal problem to experience a sensitivity to foods and liquids that are hot. It is also common to experience tender or swollen gums around the area of the root canal problem.

In order to diagnose the root canal problem, your dentist will examine the area as well as take a series of x-rays to rule out other complications and problems.  After your dentist reviews your teeth, he will then be able to suggest the best treatment for your problem.

We recommend you contact your dentist right away if you are experiencing any kind of tooth pain, tenderness or swelling around the area as only your dentist can provide the best course of treatment to your root canal problem.
