Root Canal Treatment

The need for root canal treatment can be obvious, though it can also be very subtle until symptoms are serious.

If you experience dental trauma (an injury to a tooth), or you have a large untreated cavity and obvious signs of decay, you could be in serious need of root canal treatment.

This said, sometimes very minor decay can escalate quickly into a serious infection, which is why at-home oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups are paramount.

In cases where a dental infection begins to cause noticeable symptoms, you may experience:

• An unpleasant taste in your mouth.
• Intense and regular tooth sensitivity and pain.
• Changes to the shade of a particular tooth.
• A large cavity/patches of dark decay around a tooth.
• An abscess/pus coming from an abscess.
