Why That Tooth Pain Might Be a Sign You Need Root Canal Treatment

Tooth pain is your body’s way of telling you that something isn’t right.

While it may be tempting to ignore it or hope it goes away on its own, persistent or sharp pain often points to a deeper issue—possibly one that requires root canal treatment.

Understanding the Pain

Not all toothaches are the same. A constant, throbbing pain, sensitivity to hot or cold, or discomfort when biting down could indicate that the tooth’s inner pulp is infected or inflamed. When this happens, the nerves inside the tooth are compromised and need professional care.

What Root Canal Therapy Does

Root canal treatment removes the infected pulp, cleans the inside of the tooth, and seals it to prevent further damage. It's a procedure designed to save your natural tooth and stop the infection from spreading to surrounding tissues or other teeth.

Don’t Wait Until It’s Worse

Delaying treatment can lead to increased pain, swelling, or even the loss of the tooth. Early intervention with a root canal can preserve your oral health and save you from more complicated and expensive procedures down the line.
