Infected or inflamed root canals can be caused by a deep cavity or filling, a chipped or cracked tooth, or injury to your tooth. These issues can cause bacteria to enter your tooth, resulting in the inflamed or infected dental pulp. Without treatment to the root canal, tooth infection may worsen, resulting in the need to remove and extract the tooth.

Many people are unaware of the importance of not only healthy teeth and gums but also healthy roots and root canals. Your mouth contains connective tissue, nerves, and blood vessels that run below your teeth. It is important to keep your root canals healthy, as you may develop inflammation or infections of the root and pulp, causing the need for root canal therapy.

Symptoms of an infected or inflamed root canal include tooth pain while chewing or consuming cold food, throbbing pain at your tooth, the temperature sensitivity of your tooth, discoloration of your tooth, or sensitive or swollen gums. Sometimes, symptoms may not exist; therefore, it is important to see us for regular check-ups to ensure that teeth and root canals are healthy.
