Who is a candidate for a root canal?
If your tooth is infected or there’s severe damage to the pulp, a root canal will be recommended. An untreated cavity is the most common cause for this infection. The pulp inside the tooth can become inflamed from trauma or extensive restorative work. It can even be affected from a series of fillings being applied in a short period of time. This inflammation usually leads to infection and pain in the tooth is the most common and obvious symptom.
