Root
Canals

Though people are often very scared of the term “root canal,” it’s actually a common procedure and not as bad as people think it is. You might need a root canal if you have severe toothache pain that doesn’t go away, decay of the tooth, an abscess on your gums, and/or sensitivity to hot and cold. These may be signs that decay has reached your tooth pulp, which is the living tissue inside the tooth. Sometimes infections or abscesses develop inside a tooth or at the root tip. Alternatively, perhaps trauma or injury has impacted a particular tooth. Even with all this said, sometimes there are no symptoms present and you might still need a root canal– your dentist will be able to offer his or her expert opinion on this matter.
