Root Canal Dentists Palatka Florida

Signs You May Need a Root Canal

If you recognize any of the below root canal symptoms, please contact our office as soon as possible. During your appointment, our dentists will examine your mouth and most likely take X-rays to see if an emergency root canal is needed.

Root canal symptoms include:

  • Moderate to severe toothache
  • Intense pain while chewing or biting
  • Lingering tooth sensitivity to heat and cold
  • Chipped or cracked tooth
  • Grayish-black tooth discoloration
  • Pimples on the gums
  • Tender, swollen gums

While uncommon, it’s possible for you to experience no symptoms of an abscessed tooth. Not all infections trigger pain in the body. For this reason, it’s vital that you continue to see our dentists for routine preventive care at least twice a year. This will allow us to detect oral health issues early so you can enjoy total peace of mind.

Benefits of Root Canal Therapy

While root canals may sound scary, the truth is that they offer a lot of benefits to your oral health. For starters, you’ll probably feel a lot better once we remove the source of your dental pain and discomfort. A root canal stops the infection in your tooth from spreading. This safeguards not only your other teeth, but the rest of your body from harm.

Another advantage of root canal therapy is that you’re able to avoid tooth extraction. In general, our dentists recommend root canals as a last resort. Once you reach the point of no return, your tooth will need to be extracted to protect your overall health and wellness.

Root canal treatment allows us to save teeth with significant injury or decay so you can keep smiling with confidence.
