When this occurs, root canal therapy is necessary to prevent infection and, many times, extraction. Learn your <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.princealbertdental.com\/our-team.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Prince Albert dentist\u2019s<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> top six signs you need a root canal to help yourself seek treatment (and relief) as soon as possible.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">#1: Intense pain<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If you experience pain that interferes with your day-to-day activities, like sporadic jolts that make you dread your next meal, you need to have your tooth checked out immediately. Decay can cause the nerves to become inflamed, leading to real sensitivity upon eating and drinking. Schedule an appointment with your dentist as soon as possible.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">#2: A broken tooth<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If you\u2019ve got a broken tooth and exposed nerves, a root canal treatment may be the only way to save your tooth from extraction and to restore its original form and function. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">#3: Extreme sensitivity<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">When you start to notice yourself experiencing extreme sensitivity to hot and cold, you may need root canal therapy. When the nerve tissues in your tooth\u2019s root have a problem, so will you &#8212; and you\u2019ll know as you struggle to enjoy your regular cold drink or hot coffee. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">#4: Swelling around the tooth<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Swelling is another common indicator that there\u2019s a problem beneath the tooth\u2019s surface. If you notice inflammation around your tooth &#8212; especially if the swelling is combined with significant pain &#8212; schedule an appointment with your dentist in Prince Albert to find out if root canal therapy is necessary. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">#5: A bump or pimple on your gum<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If you notice something that looks like a pimple on your gum, be aware that this bump could be a form of localized swelling related to an infected nerve or pulp. Even if the pimple goes away on its own, you should still visit your dentist to find out if the bump is an indication that a root canal is necessary. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">#6: A darkened tooth<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Tooth darkening is a major indicator that there\u2019s a problem beneath its surface. If you notice one of your teeth taking on a gray cast, schedule an appointment with your dentist immediately. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Listen to your intuition<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If you suspect you\u2019ve got a problem with one of your teeth, don\u2019t wait to get it checked out &#8212; remember that a tooth that needs root canal therapy will never get better on its own. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.princealbertdental.com\/contact-us.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Contact the office<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> of Dr. Janzen and Dr. Gogolinski to schedule a Prince Albert root canal today!<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When a cavity isn\u2019t treated early, it will gradually progress from the surface of the tooth to the center.
