Know the warning signs that mean it’s time to visit your dentist in Findlay, OH.
While we can all agree that the last thing we want to hear is that we need a root canal it’s important that you find out as soon as possible .jpg)
so that your tooth can get the proper treatment it needs. After all, once the dental pulp of the tooth has become inflamed or infected the only option is to remove it. If you don’t turn to our Findlay, OH, dentist Dr. Krystal DeClerck for care and just ignore the problem then you could end up dealing with a much more serious issue.
Signs and Symptoms that You Need Root Canal Therapy
While not all infected or inflamed dental pulps will cause problems it’s important to know when you should visit a dentist right away for care. The most common warning sign is a toothache.
The pain may be persistent or it may come and go. If you ignore the pain it will often get worse. The pain may intensify when biting down or putting pressure on the affected tooth. If this is happening to you then you may need a root canal.
Other symptoms include:
- Prolonged tooth sensitivity
- Darkening or discoloration of the tooth
- Swelling and tenderness of the gums around the tooth
Don’t ignore these symptoms. Give us a call and let us know what’s going on and we can determine just how quickly we should bring you into the office. Along with these symptoms, there are also signs that Dr. DeClerck will know to look for that you may not see. Sometimes the tooth can give us little hints that something just isn’t right.
For example, the tooth may have started to darken a bit or there might be changes in the soft tissue that tip us off to the fact that you need a root canal. Either way, if you concerned about the health of your smile it’s important that you see a dental professional as soon as possible.
