5 Signs Which Shows You Need A Root Canal Treatment

If bacteria damage a tooth, it can have serious implications to the dental pulp that sits inside the main body of the tooth causing bone loss or even loss of the entire tooth.

Here are 5 signs that tell you to go for a root canal treatment:

1.    Severe Pain

People having dental problems experience severe pain while chewing pain or when putting a little bit of pressure upon the tooth. Also, people who need root canal treatment experiences pain and a feeling of numbness in the tooth when it is exposed to hot or cold drinks like coffee, ice cream, and soft drinks.

2.    Swelling

A person affected by dental problems will experience swelling of the gum area surrounding the affected tooth. They may also experience further swelling around the neck and face area.

3.    Tooth Gets Discolored

When you observe that your tooth is getting discolored or darkening, it shows that the bacteria has infected that tooth and you need an immediate root canal treatment.

4.    Appearance of Bumps on the Gums

A pimple like an abscess or lesion might form on the gum area that surrounds the bacteria affected tooth.

5.    Partial Loss of Tooth

If you experience a partial loss of a tooth in the form of a hole, chip or crack in your tooth, it signifies that the bacteria is infecting your tooth rapidly and your tooth needs a root canal treatment.
