Do you have specific teeth that hurt? You may have a cavity that has spread to your tooth’s nerve, causing an infection.
You’ll often need a root canal when you have an untreated cavity that spreads to the pulp of your tooth and causes infection in your nerves. If the infection is left untreated it can turn into an abscess (a more serious issue that can result in bone loss in the jaw).
There is the stigma that a root canal is a painful, agonizing procedure when in actuality, root canal therapy is given to relieve the pain the patient is suffering from.
Like most routine dental procedures there may be some soreness after but ultimately, once the pain subsides, you will feel relief from the infection and be able to enjoy your day-to-day life without the pain you previously felt from the infection.
