in Arvada, CO

What are the symptoms of a tooth infection?

There are a range of symptoms that can indicate that an infection is present in one or more teeth. However, it’s also possible for infections to occur with very few to no symptoms, which is why routine preventive care is critical for maintaining positive oral health. If you notice any of the following symptoms, please schedule a visit with our team at your earliest convenience:

• Unbearable tooth pain
• Sudden tooth sensitivity
• Change in tooth color
• Swollen or tender gums
• Loose tooth

Do I need a root canal or another treatment?

It can be difficult or impossible for patients to determine the exact treatments that their smile needs, which is why visiting an experienced dentist or endodontist is crucial for diagnosing and treating advanced dental issues. Root canals can be used to treat many infections that occur inside teeth, while apicoectomies involve treating areas around the tooth as well. The most important thing to remember is that the sooner you can see an endodontist near you, the more likely it is that a less invasive treatment can be utilized.

Are root canals painful?
