Warning Signs You May Need a Root Canal

Introduction
Tooth pain can be alarming — but sometimes, it’s your body’s way of saying something deeper is wrong. One of the most common causes of persistent tooth pain is an infected tooth nerve, which often requires a Root Canal Treatment (RCT).
At Dr. Gogia’s Super Specialty Dental Care Centre, we specialize in painless, precise, and effective root canal treatments that relieve pain and save your natural tooth.
Here are the top 7 signs that may indicate you need a root canal — and why early treatment matters.

What Is a Root Canal?
A root canal is a dental procedure used to treat infection or damage inside the tooth (in the pulp). It helps eliminate pain and saves the tooth from extraction.
Rather than removing the whole tooth, a root canal cleans and seals the infected area, allowing you to keep your natural tooth intact.

7 Warning Signs You Might Need a Root Canal
1. Severe Toothache (Especially While Chewing)
Pain while eating or biting is a red flag. It could indicate inflammation or infection in the tooth’s pulp.
2. Sensitivity to Hot or Cold
If the sensitivity lingers for a long time even after the source is removed, your tooth nerve may be inflamed or infected.
3. Swollen or Tender Gums
Swelling near a specific tooth, especially if it’s painful or persistent, may indicate a deep infection beneath the surface.
4. Darkening or Discoloration of the Tooth
A tooth turning gray or black may mean the nerve is dead or dying — a clear sign that a root canal may be needed.
5. Pimple or Boil on the Gums
A recurring pimple-like bump on the gums (known as a fistula) may be draining pus from an infection deep in the root.
6. Cracked or Chipped Tooth
If a tooth is damaged due to injury or grinding, bacteria can enter the pulp chamber and cause infection.
7. Loose Tooth
Infection in the root can lead to bone damage, making the tooth feel mobile or loose.

Spreading infection
Abscess formation
Bone loss around the root
Tooth extraction
