5 Signs You Might Need a Root Canal

A root canal is one of the most misunderstood dental procedures. In reality, it's a routine treatment that saves millions of teeth every year.

Here are 5 signs that you might need a root canal:

1. Persistent tooth pain — especially pain that lingers after eating or wakes you up at night.

2. Sensitivity to hot or cold that doesn't go away quickly. If your tooth hurts long after the stimulus is removed, the nerve may be affected.

3. Swollen or tender gums near the affected tooth. Swelling that comes and goes is a common sign of infection.

4. A cracked or chipped tooth. Bacteria can enter through cracks and reach the pulp, requiring root canal treatment.

5. Darkening of the tooth. A tooth that turns grey or dark may have nerve damage.

If you experience any of these symptoms, don't wait. Early treatment means less discomfort and better outcomes. Call Arya Smiles at +91-9351349818 to schedule an evaluation.
