Curious about whether a root canal might be the dental solution that puts an end to your recurring tooth pain or discomfort? You may be wondering if root canals hurt or what circumstances might lead to getting one. Here are the answers to all your root canal questions.
When a Root Canal Might Be Appropriate
Root canals are especially indicated in teeth where cavities have been for some time and have deeply penetrated into the root of the tooth, causing damage and decay. You might be experiencing sensitivity, discoloration and discomfort in any teeth that have been affected by a cavity in this way. Root canals are also useful if a physically injured or broken tooth is not healing fully on its own. Root canals can help resolve that lingering tooth pain or sensitivity that you may have noticed at night or while eating particularly hot or cool foods.
