When Do You Need Emergency Root Canal Treatment?
Root canal treatment becomes necessary when the tooth's pulp (the soft tissue inside) becomes infected or severely damaged. Our emergency dentist in Manchester provides immediate root canal treatment to save your tooth and prevent further complications.
Signs You Need Emergency Root Canal Treatment
Recognising the signs that indicate the need for root canal treatment is crucial. If you experience any of these symptoms, seeking immediate dental care can prevent severe complications and potentially save your tooth.
Severe Tooth Pain
Intense, persistent pain, especially when applying pressure or eating, often indicates the need for root canal treatment.
Prolonged Sensitivity
Lingering sensitivity to hot or cold temperatures, lasting more than a few seconds, may indicate damaged tooth pulp.
Tooth Discoloration
A tooth becoming darker or greyish indicates that the nerve tissue inside may be decaying and requires immediate attention.
Gum Swelling
Swollen, tender gums around a specific tooth often indicate an infection that may require root canal treatment.
Dental Abscess
A pimple-like bump on the gum, often accompanied by bad taste or odor, indicates an abscess requiring immediate treatment.
Cracked or Chipped Tooth
Damage exposing the tooth pulp can lead to infection and may require emergency root canal treatment.
