Why Choose Root Canal Therapy?

Several factors may indicate the need for root canal treatment, including:

• Intense tooth pain: A persistent or throbbing toothache can be a sign of infection.

• Tooth sensitivity: Extreme sensitivity to hot or cold temperatures may indicate pulp damage.

• Swollen or tender gums: Inflammation around the tooth can signal an underlying infection.

• Visible tooth damage: A cracked or chipped tooth can expose the tooth's inner layers.
