Signs You Might Need a Root Canal

A root canal is a common procedure to save severely damaged or infected teeth. Early detection of symptoms is key to preventing complications and preserving your natural teeth. If you’re experiencing any of the following signs, it may be time to consult a dentist at Beyond Grin Family Dental Clinic, Kharadi, Pune for root canal treatment:

1. Persistent Tooth Pain – Ongoing pain, ranging from mild to severe, that may spread to the jaw, face, or other teeth indicates possible nerve damage.
2. Sensitivity to Hot and Cold – Prolonged sensitivity suggests nerve inflammation or infection, unlike regular sensitivity that fades quickly.
3. Swollen or Tender Gums – Swelling, tenderness, or pimple-like bumps on the gums can signal infection or an abscess.
4. Tooth Discoloration – A darkened or grayish tooth could indicate nerve damage or trauma.
5. Cracked or Chipped Tooth – Even minor cracks can expose the nerve, leading to pain or infection.
6. Prolonged Pain After Dental Work – Persistent pain following a filling or crown may suggest pulp damage requiring a root canal.

If you notice any of these symptoms, schedule a consultation at Beyond Grin Family Dental Clinic, Kharadi, Pune, to address the issue early and protect your smile.
