Root Canals Chatsworth, CA

Root canals are needed when decay and bacteria spread for too long without treatment. At a certain point, this decay makes it to the pulp inside the tooth. This pulp includes nerves, therefore infection generally causes a lot of pain. Since this is happening on the inside of the tooth, you won’t necessarily see the damage. Instead, you could feel it through pain and notice other signs that include bleeding, swelling and bad breath.

Here are some signs that may indicate a tooth infection or abscess:

• Severe toothache
• Discomfort or inflammation in the jaw
• Extreme tooth sensitivity
• Gum bump resembling a pimple
• Puffy, red, or swollen gums
• Unpleasant taste or smell in the mouth

If you notice any of these signs and suspect a tooth infection, please contact our dental clinic in Chatsworth right away. Prompt attention to an infected root canal is important for your comfort and overall health.
