Signs You May Need a Root Canal
Don't wait out tooth pain
These are the common signs that the nerve inside a tooth may be inflamed or infected — and that root canal treatment can relieve your pain and save the tooth.
Intense tooth pain
Severe, lingering or spontaneous tooth pain — especially pain that wakes you or won't settle — is a common sign the nerve needs attention.
Lingering sensitivity
Sensitivity to hot or cold that lingers long after the trigger is gone can point to nerve inflammation that a root canal can resolve.
Swelling or a darkening tooth
Swelling or tenderness in the gums, a recurring gum boil or abscess, or a tooth that's darkening can all signal infection inside the tooth.
How It Works
Gentle, step-by-step relief
Root canal treatment relieves pain and stops infection while keeping your natural tooth. Here's how it comes together.
- 1
We remove the infected pulp
We gently remove the inflamed or infected pulp from inside the tooth to stop the pain and the infection.
- 2
We clean & seal the canals
We carefully clean and shape the canals, then seal them to prevent further infection and protect the tooth.
- 3
We protect it with a crown
We protect the treated tooth with a crown so it stays strong and functional for years to come.
