Early signs of needing a root canal
You may think that you need a root canal treatment, here are the signs that you can follow.
Persistent pain:
Your professional dentist in Kusadasi, Turkey will ask how your tooth responds to hot and cold. Do you have sensitivity in your teeth when you drink cold water? How long does the pain you feel in this case? This is a way of detecting whether your pain is chronic. Non-chronic pain is temporary. If you relieve from your pain, the pulp in your tooth may be alive enough to survive the effects of hot and cold. This means that the tissue has the potential to heal. If your tooth stays sensitive for an hour or more when you drink cold water, this condition’s name is “chronic” pulpitis and your tooth does not heal; means the nerve is almost dead.
Positional pain:
Does your pain get worse when you lie down, stand up suddenly, or run where you are? This may indicate a possibly dead tooth.
Self-arising pain:
If a stimulus such as a hot or cold drink cause the development of the pain, it is possible that pulpitis can be reversible, but if there is a surge of pain while sitting there without doing anything, it is probably a sign of a dead tooth.
Gum fistula:
The fistula is small that occurs on your gums; in white, yellow or red color; it is a bubble-like formation. What this means to your dentist is that there is an infection because there is a certain amount of pus, blood and infectious material in your body that is trying to go out and your body is also trying to expel. The problem is that the fistula may not always be next to the infected tooth. Therefore, a fistula may mislead your dentist as to which tooth is infected. For a full diagnosis, a careful x-ray examination is required in our Kusadasi dentist hospital.
Infection:
The abscess is usually visible on an x-ray. It is essentially a cavity within the jawbone and appears as a black spot on x-ray, because the bone does not want to develop into that area. The bone will not grow in the area around the infection, and the infection usually comes from the tip of the root. The root tip is the point where everything pours out of the dead tissue inside the tooth.
Reflected pain:
We are placing greater emphasis on this type of pain. If the pain is not just in your teeth and if it is reflected in another part of your body, such as your jaw, ear, or surrounding teeth, it means you have an abscess.
