5 Signs That You Might Need a Root Canal

Pain that occurs spontaneously 

The key word here is “spontaneous”: you have a tooth that suddenly begins to cause you substantial pain for no apparent reason. 

This is an important indicator because root canals are necessary when a tooth has deteriorated to the extent that the nerve inside the damaged tooth is exposed. Even a little exposure might cause severe harm. The pain might vary in intensity and feeling when you change positions, such as sitting, leaning over, etc. If you have sudden, severe tooth pain, contact your dentist right away.

Your gums have “bumps”

Your gums are like flesh, yet having a cyst on your gum is not normal. If you see a pus-filled “swelling” on your gum, you may be suffering from a type of extremely localized swelling caused by a tooth infection. 

Such pimples may appear to shrink and resolve themselves at times, but don’t let this fool you into a false feeling of security. Because the infection has not yet been treated, the growth frequently recurs. DO NOT TRY TO PUNCH SUCH A GROWTH. Instead, notify your dentist and allow them to evaluate the situation.

A discolored tooth 

If one of your teeth gets darker in colour than the others, this might indicate an infection or nerve damage within the tooth. The afflicted tooth will usually have a grey hue. This is usually a symptom that necessitates an evaluation by a dentist.

Discomfort in the gums 

In most cases, an infected tooth will produce discomfort in the gum tissue around it. However, discomfort can manifest itself in a variety of ways. Some people describe it as a somewhat painless lump .In certain cases, the swelling can grow so severe that it can be seen on the outside of the face.

Patients already diagnosed with gum disease issues may incorrectly believe that this swelling is caused by gingivitis. Gum disease, on the other hand, arises in the tissue directly around the tooth. The swelling that suggests a tooth infection arises from the gum directly surrounding the exposed tooth. 

Painful Mastication 

This is another sign that might be misdiagnosed as something less serious. When individuals experience moderate discomfort when eating anything sweet, it might be a symptom of a cavity. Painful biting or shutting without food are both reasons to contact your dentist right away.
