COMMON ROOT CANAL SYMPTOMS


The root canal is the channel that connects from the root of the tooth up to the crown or surface. Inside the canal are blood vessels, nerves and connective tissue which provides nourishment for the tooth during growth and development. This inner core of soft tissue is called the "pulp". Once the tooth has fully matured, the pulp's only function then is sensory - temperature, touch, and pain.

If the tooth begins to decay or get cracked, bacteria can then infect the pulp and cause it to inflame. Infected pulp makes the blood flow more difficult and as a result causes pain to develop inside the tooth. When this happens, the tooth needs to undergo a root canal treatment or be removed. Leaving the condition untreated can eventually spread the infection to other tissue areas such as around the eye or neck. Eventually, it could lead to a serious medical emergency.

The following events can be the precursor to root canal symptoms and the need for treatment:

  • Tooth Decay - As discussed ... the pulp inside the tooth will eventually get infected from tooth decay. Bacteria will infect and inflame the pulp causing an abscess to form. Pain is the obvious sign of diseased pulp as listed above and needs to undergo a root canal treatment or be extracted.
  • Cracked Tooth - A chipped tooth caused by any accident or event may expose the pulp to infection. The tooth needs to be treated with a root canal procedure or be removed.
  • Periodontal Disease - The pulp can also get infected by bacteria from a gum and bone infection surrounding the tooth which is known as periodontal disease.
  • Previous Dental Procedures - Other types of dental work can eventually lead to pulpal damage. It may not be the fault of the dentist but just unforeseen problems or complications that later developed or tried to be avoided. Once the pulp becomes damaged and infected ... no matter the cause ... a root canal treatment or a tooth extraction is necessary.
