Root canal therapy is a treatment that can save your tooth and prolong its life by many years.
The term 'root canal' commonly describes the dental treatment of removing a tooth’s pulp, disinfecting the inside of the tooth, and then filling the tooth with restorative material.
However, a root canal is actually a chamber inside your tooth where the pulp tissue resides. The treatment is more correctly referred to as root canal therapy, or endodontic therapy.
Symptoms of an infection in your root canal may include:
A toothache and pain that’s either constant or spontaneously occurs
Tooth pain in response to biting pressure
Tooth pain in response to atmospheric changes (e.g. when on an airplane)
Tooth pain in response to movement (e.g. running or moving from standing to lying down)
Swelling around a tooth
Lingering sensitivity to hot or cold
Though it’s possible these symptoms may result from other issues, we recommended that you contact us so we may diagnose the problem properly.
