Root canals have gotten a bad reputation, but us dentists don’t know why!
These are the types of treatments that actually make you feel better!
Root canals are tooth-saving procedures. The treatment design rids the inner tooth of infection. Followed by sealing of the tooth to prevent future infections. Thus preserving the tooth from a possible tooth removal.
The number one sign you need a root canal is having severe tooth pain. Especially having tooth pain when eating/biting down on food. Or having pain and sensitivity with hot or cold foods and drinks. Other noticeable symptoms of needing treatment include:
Pain that wakes you up in the middle of the night
Toothache that worsens when pressure is applied or when eating
Darkening or discoloration of a tooth
Recurring swelling of the gums
Skipping root canal therapy isn’t recommended at Vignesh Dental Hospital. Patients sometimes believe that their tooth infection healed with their pain suddenly gone. This, however, is a telltale sign that the infection has killed off the pain-sensing nerves. With an infection still present, this can weaken your tooth. Leading to fractures or cracks that will ultimately lead to needing an extraction. Even worse, with an untreated infection, it can spread to other areas of your body.

Avoiding certain bad habits along with practicing good ones is the best way to avoid root canals. These include:
