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. 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. Pain in the tooth is
the most common and obvious symptom, but infections can be pain-free
initially.
