Toothache? Don't Rush to Extract It

Toothache? Don't Rush to Extract It - Root Canal Treatment May Help Save Your Tooth

If you have a toothache, extraction may not always be necessary. Root canal treatment can help preserve your natural tooth and restore its function.

Root canal treatment aims to:

• Preserve the natural tooth.

• Stop the infection.

• Relieve tooth pain.

• Extend the lifespan of the tooth.

If an infected tooth is left untreated, the infection may spread, causing an abscess or eventually leading to tooth loss. In severe cases, the infection may spread to other parts of the body, including the brain.

Warning Signs That May Require Root Canal Treatment

If you experience any of the following symptoms, consult a dentist promptly for examination and appropriate treatment:

• Cracked or fractured teeth.

• Deep tooth decay.

• Tooth sensitivity.

• Swollen gums or pus around the gums.

• Severe toothache.

• Darkening or discoloration of a tooth.

Early dental examination can help determine whether root canal treatment is appropriate and whether the affected tooth can be preserved.
