4 Symptoms You Need a Root Canal Treatment 

Whenever the name “root canal” comes up, most people start to panic and there are reasons why. The name has been associated with hour-long dental procedures that involve extracting plaque from the tooth pulp, nerve & root, injecting anaesthetics, filling up the cavity and sealing the area. As elaborate as it might sound, your teeth face decay due to a number of factors where you might be prompted by the best dentist in Kolkata to undergo a root canal treatment.

Now, now – as contrary to this popular misbelief, the root canal can be operated by a dental specialist and it is painless. Yes, it doesn’t hurt as you’ll be administered with a local anaesthetic. Plus, it doesn’t take hours to perform this treatment. Now, having said that, what are the tell-a-tale signs that you need a root canal treatment. Let’s find that out!

O1. Persistent Pain in Tooth/Teeth

Suffering from constant toothaches is one of the primary causes to undergo this procedure. Besides tooth pain, if you’re suffering from symptoms like –

  • Gum disease
  • Cavity
  • Referred pain from a sinus infection or another problem
  • A damaged filling
  • An impacted tooth that may be infected

No matter what the cause is, it’s advisable to undergo painless root canal treatment in Kolkata, whenever you’re having a tooth ache.

O2. Extreme Sensitivity To Heat and Cold 

Does your tooth ache when you dig into warm or cold food? Perhaps, you might also feel a sharp, excruciating pain at the base of the tooth. This can be a “classic” case of tooth sensitivity. Rush to a dentist as delaying this can cause your teeth to decay further, often leading to teeth extraction as it becomes beyond repair. Timely intervention can resolve this issue at a local dental clinic in Kolkata with a plain & simple root canal treatment.

O3. Teeth Discolouration 

A severe infection in your teeth’s pulp can often cause your teeth to look discoloured. However, that’s not the only reason. Trauma to the teeth or the breakdown of the internal issue can damage the roots and make the teeth look greyish-black! Tooth discolouration can have other causes as well. So, it’s always a good idea to visit a dentist’s clinic when you notice a gradual change in tooth colour.

O4. A Cracked or Chipped Tooth 

It can happen due to numerous factors. If you’ve chipped your tooth by accidentally chewing on something very hard, microbes can set in causing infection (and inflammation). On the other hand, if your tooth has been impacted hard causing it to crack or chip, it can damage the nerves of the tooth as well. In this case, nerves become inflamed causing sharp pain and sensitivity. This can however be treated at a dental clinic with painless root canal treatment in Kolkata.
