Sometimes no symptoms are present; however, signs you may need a root canal include:
-Severe toothache pain upon chewing or application of pressure
-Prolonged sensitivity/pain to heat or cold temperatures (after the hot or cold has been removed)
-Discoloration (a darkening) of the tooth
-Swelling and tenderness in the nearby gums
-A persistent or recurring pimple on the gums
If any of these symptoms persist please contact Drs. Batz and Weiner's office immediately.
