Tooth pain can be a sign of deeper infection inside your tooth. A root canal treatment helps remove infection and save your natural tooth. Here are 5 common signs you may need a root canal.

1. Severe Tooth Pain

   Persistent pain while chewing or biting is a major sign of infection.

2. Long-Lasting Sensitivity

   Sensitivity to hot or cold that stays even after removing the source.

3. Swollen or Tender Gums

   Swelling around the tooth may indicate infection spreading.

4. Tooth Discoloration

   A dark or grey tooth can mean internal damage.

5. Pimple on Gums

   A small bump or pus near gums is a serious infection sign.

If you experience any of these symptoms, don’t delay treatment. Early root canal treatment can save your tooth and prevent further complications.
