Symptoms of Root Canal Infection

However, modern Endodontics allow a high success rate of saving the tooth. Multiple studies suggest up to 95% for 10 year survival rate.

If we feel that the treatment may be difficult or in case of complications, you may be given an option to have a root canal treatment completed by the specialist (Endodontist).

A root infection can be painful and cause worry, but modern technology and a gentle dentist can make all the difference. Our professional staff will always work hard to keep you comfortable.

Symptoms of Root Canal Infection often vary between patients and may include:

  • Facial, neck or jaw swelling
  • Sharp pain when biting down
  • Sensitivity to hot or cold
  • Discolouration of teeth
  • Toothache or general local pain
  • Small drainage bump on the gum
  • Radiographic finding during examination

During the Root Canal appointment, the Dentist, after numbing the area, will clear away the infected root and pulp and then temporarily seal the tooth with a temporary filling to promote healing. Later, you may need a filling or a dental crown to restore the tooth.

What Happens If I Don't Get a Root Canal Treatment?

If you allow a root infected tooth to go without treatment, you risk tooth loss including loss of other teeth by allowing the infection to spread.

Additionally, infection may spread to other areas of your body, such as sinuses, neck and throat and systemic sepsis.

Typically, your pain decreases significantly following a Root Canal Procedure.
