Indications for Root Canal Treatment:

• Deep Decay: When tooth decay extends to the pulp chamber, causing infection or inflammation.
• Dental Infection: When a tooth becomes infected due to injury, trauma, or untreated decay.
• Pulp Damage: When the pulp tissue is damaged or dead, often resulting in severe toothache.

Symptoms That May Require a Root Canal:

• Persistent and severe tooth pain, especially when chewing or applying pressure.
• Prolonged sensitivity to hot or cold temperatures.
• Swollen, tender gums near the affected tooth.
• Discoloration (darkening) of the tooth.
• Pimple on the gums, known as a dental abscess.
