Historically, root canals have gotten a bad rap, but the good news is that advances in dental technology have made it much less painful and “scary,” with more than a 95% success rate.
Once the decay in a tooth has reached the nerve tissue or pulp, a filling alone is not enough to restore the tooth. This advanced state of decay mandates a root canal. Saving the tooth prevents further dental problems like gaps between your teeth and difficulty in chewing, which can eventually lead to much more costly treatment.
Symptoms of infection include: • Painful chewing • Heat/cold sensitivity • Tooth discoloration • Gum swelling, tenderness • Or no symptoms; only a dental exam will discover it
