When decay or a crack reaches the pulp, the nerve inside the tooth becomes inflamed or infected. Left alone, the infection spreads into the bone around the root tip and the tooth may be lost. A root canal removes the infection and keeps your own tooth, which chews better than any replacement.
- Lingering pain with hot or cold
- Throbbing pain that wakes you at night
