Root Canals

01/17/2006
The purpose of root canal therapy is to eliminate tooth pain. The procedure is performed by a specialist, an Endodontist, in our New York office. Symptoms that might indicate the need for root canal therapy include: 1) significant, constant pain, including pain that can wake you up at night, 2) increased symptoms specifically when you lie down, 3) significant sensitivity to hot or cold, 4) pain upon chewing on that tooth, 5) a darkening of the color of only one tooth, or, 6) the appearance of a pimple or fistula in the gum. A tooth might need root canal therapy even in the absence of any pain.
