Why do I need a root canal?
Root canal treatments are done when the nerve inside the tooth starts to die or is dead. The nerve can die for various reasons with the most common being deep decay. The tooth can become infected and cause symptoms such as throbbing/aching, hot and cold sensitivity and bite sensitivity. Sometimes swelling can occur. If you have any of these symptoms, you should see your dentist.
