Root canal treatment is often necessary when tooth decay or bacteria are left untreated for an extended period of time and spread deep inside the tooth. When decay reaches the pulp—the inner portion of the tooth that contains nerves and blood vessels—it can cause infection, inflammation, and significant discomfort. Because this damage occurs beneath the surface, it is not always visible, but it can have serious consequences if not addressed promptly.
Infected tooth pulp commonly leads to persistent tooth pain, sensitivity to hot or cold, swelling in the gums or face, bleeding, and bad breath or an unpleasant taste in the mouth. These symptoms are signs that the infection may be progressing and requires professional treatment. Without a root canal, the infection can worsen and potentially lead to abscess formation or tooth loss.
