As we get older our teeth aren’t as durable as they used to. However, you shouldn’t have extreme, lingering sensitivity to hot and cold even after you have finished eating or drinking. There shouldn’t be pain when biting down and chewing. Do you notice discoloration of the tooth? How about swollen gums and pimples on them? These are signs that you need a root canal stat.
Root Canals from Amber Shay Dental
When the center of the tooth becomes infected, a root canal may be performed to remove the infection and restore the tooth to its former glory. This approach should be painless and can be done by your local dentist. Skipping this procedure isn’t an option. If left untreated, the infection can spread to the soft tissue known as the pulp. Once the pulp becomes infected it cannot heal on its own and the tooth can die.
