The words “root canal” often cause immediate anxiety. However, thanks to modern technology at Muskurahat Charitable Dental Clinic, a root canal is now as routine and painless as getting a filling. The real danger isn’t the procedure—it’s ignoring the warning signs.
Watch for These 5 Warning Signs
- Persistent Pain: Deep pain that keeps you up at night or feels like it’s in your bone.
- Sensitivity to Temperature: If cold or hot drinks cause sharp pain that lingers for minutes, the nerve may be damaged.
- Gum Swelling: A small bump on the gums (similar to a pimple) can indicate an abscess or infection.
- Tooth Discoloration: If a tooth starts turning grey or dark, the internal pulp may be dying.
- Pain When Chewing: This often suggests a crack or an infection at the root tip.
Why Early Treatment Saves Money
By visiting our charitable clinic at the first sign of pain, we can often save your natural tooth. Waiting too long leads to tooth loss, which requires more expensive treatments like bridges or implants.
