What Are the Signs You Need a Root Canal?

Signs you may need a root canal include persistent pain when chewing, sensitivity to hot or cold that lingers, gum swelling, tooth discoloration, or a small bump on the gums. These symptoms often indicate an infection inside the tooth. If left untreated, it can spread, leading to more serious issues like severe pain, abscesses, or tooth loss.

Sometimes, there are no visible symptoms, which is why regular dental checkups are so important for early detection and treatment. Noticing symptoms? Schedule an exam with Fortson Dentistry today for expert evaluation!

What Happens During a Root Canal?

Step 1: Gentle Numbing

We completely numb the area around the affected tooth to ensure you stay relaxed and pain-free throughout the entire procedure.

Step 2: Removing the Infection

We carefully remove the infected or damaged pulp from inside the tooth to eliminate pain and stop the spread of bacteria.

Step 3: Cleaning & Sealing

The inner chamber is thoroughly cleaned, disinfected, and sealed to prevent reinfection and preserve the tooth structure.

Step 4: Crown Placement

A natural-looking, tooth-colored crown is placed over the tooth to restore its shape, function, and strength for long-term protection.

How Much Does a Root Canal Cost?

The cost of a root canal depends on the tooth being treated—molars tend to cost more due to their complexity—and whether a crown is needed afterward for protection. Insurance coverage can significantly reduce your out-of-pocket expenses. Our team will walk you through your benefits and provide a detailed, personalized estimate.
