Those who suffer from an infected tooth typically experience spontaneous throbbing pain, severe tooth sensitivity, swollen gums or abscess. Pain usually worsens when pressure is applied, such as biting down. Left untreated, an abscessed tooth can become a serious, life-threatening issue due to the risk of spreading infection.
Saving a tooth by performing the Root Canal Therapy, also known as Endodontic therapy, is always preferable, as an artificial tooth requires a more involved dental procedure to be undertaken. Endodontic therapy is highly successful, and your dentist will provide you with a comprehensive understanding of the procedure before proceeding.
