5 Signs You Need a Root Canal (And What to Expect)

Root canal treatment often sounds intimidating, but it is one of the most effective procedures to save a badly infected tooth. Many patients delay treatment due to fear, which can lead to tooth loss or spread of infection.

Common signs you may need a root canal include: persistent tooth pain, sensitivity to hot or cold that lingers, swollen or tender gums, darkening of the tooth, and a small pimple-like bump on the gums.

At DentaPlus Clinic, we perform painless root canal procedures using modern rotary instruments and local anaesthesia. Most patients feel little to no discomfort and return to normal activity the same day.
