A root canal is a safe and effective treatment for saving a damaged or infected tooth. Though many people fear the procedure, Dr. Amandeep Singh is a skilled dentist who uses modern techniques and anesthesia make root canals relatively PAIN-FREE.
Signs You Might Need a Root Canal
Some of the most common signs that you may need a root canal include:
- Severe Tooth Pain
- Tooth Sensitivity
- Swelling and Tenderness
- Darkened Tooth
- Pimple on the Gums
- Bad Taste or Odor
If a root canal is not performed, the only other option is typically tooth extraction. Removing the tooth may be necessary if the infection or damage is too severe.
Tooth extraction is not Dr. Singh’s preferred choice as it can lead the below complications:
- Loss of tooth function
- Shifting of surrounding teeth
- Bone loss in the jaw
Once a tooth is extracted, you may need a replacement such as a dental implant, bridge, or dentures to restore function and aesthetics.
