Suffering from tooth pain? It’s probably time for a trip to the dentist! While not all tooth pain is a sign of an infection, if your tooth is infected or inflamed due to decay, a root canal can remove the infection, seal the tooth and protect you from further damage.

So how do you know if you are in need of a root canal? Here are a few signs to look out for.

Signs You Need a Root Canal:

  • It hurts when you are eating.
  • It hurts when you drink something that is hot or cold
  • There is a small pump near the area of tooth pain.
  • Your tooth has become dark.
  • Your gums are tender or swollen.
