Get A Second OpinionSigns You May Need a Root Canal
A root canal is a procedure that must be performed when the inner pulp of the tooth becomes infected or damaged beyond repair. If so, then these symptoms may be a sign you need a root canal:
- Severe Tooth Pain: Persistent and severe pain, particularly when biting or putting pressure on the affected tooth, may indicate that the nerve in the tooth has been damaged or is infected.
- Sensitivity to Hot or Cold: Persistent temperature sensitivity may indicate infection within the tooth pulp. The suffering does not go away after the hot or cold are removed.
- Gums Swelling and Tenderness: Infection may also mean swollenness around the tooth that hurts alongside tenderness or a pus-filled pimple on the gum line, which can require a root canal.
- Darkening of the Tooth: When this happens to a tooth, it signifies that the nerve of the tooth is going dead or already dead.
- Frequent Tooth Abscesses: AbscessA collection of pus at the end of a tooth or in the surrounding tissue caused by bacteria getting into an infection site there. Seeing an abscess on or close to a tooth repeatedly is one of the most obvious signs that you need a root canal.
- Discomfort While Touching Or Applying Pressure On the Tooth: The tooth nerve could be inflamed or infected if your tooth hurts to touch and/or apply pressure, and treatment is necessary.
- Difficulties When Biting or Chewing: In other words, if you have trouble chewing or it hurts to chew, then this could indicate that the tooth nerve is inflamed or perhaps infected, which usually means a root canal.

Root Canal Techniques
There are different techniques for a root canal, but all of them aim to treat the infected tooth by removing the infection or inflamed substances from inside the teeth. The variations generally depend on the dentist and their tools for root canals. So, here are the techniques used to treat root canals:
Nonsurgical Root Canal Treatment
In this method, small holes are made in the teeth to clean the infected pulp, and fillers are used to seal the inner chambers. This method is helpful if the teeth have experienced extreme decay.
Apicoectomy
It is done if the nonsurgical root canal fails. This procedure, also called the microsurgical procedure, uses general anaesthesia where the tip of the root is removed, and filling is used to seal the canal.
Waterlase System From Biolase
Biolase Waterlase involves lasers ( a specific wavelength of light), water, and air to remove bacteria from root canals. This system helps patients avoid the need for retreatment because of its non-invasive method, due to which the teeth remain healthy for a more extended time.
Root Canal Retreatment
As the name suggests, in this procedure, previously implanted root canal filling material is removed in this procedure. The endodontist will carefully clean out the infection in the tooth, and finally, the tooth will be restored and sealed.

This means that root canals can fail – sometimes because they were never the answer to treating your tooth infection. So, if you have a very damaged tooth, your root canal may not be sufficient to fix what is wrong.
Depending on the severity, your healthcare provider will discuss other options if your root canal does not work:
- Re-do a root canal on your infected tooth.
- Extraction (removal) of your diseased tooth and, as a replacement, an implant or bridge.
