If the root of the tooth has an infection, it is most likely due to an abscess or other condition that is below the root spreading up through the tooth. This is why it is crucial to seek professional treatment from an endodontist who has the experience and tools to perform the necessary endodontic surgery. Do not hesitate to schedule an examination to determine the extent and cause of the pain. If endodontic surgery is necessary, there will be specific signs to look out for. Here are seven signs that you need endodontic surgery.
While it is common to experience pain from having food sticking between the teeth, the pain one will feel that requires endodontic surgery will be much more severe. A general dentist may be able to treat a minor infection with non-surgical means, but if the infection is too great, then an endodontist will be necessary.

If you notice any odd drainage or swelling around a specific tooth, then a root canal may be the most efficient method to treat and save that tooth. When the pulp of the tooth is infected, it can slowly spread to the gums and even jawbone surrounding the tooth. When this occurs, it is even more crucial to seek professional services such as endodontic surgery.
While teeth gradually discolor from consuming wine, coffee, tea, tobacco and other products, it is not common to see a drastic discoloration. Even if one is forgetful with brushing twice a day, a sudden discoloration in the teeth is unnatural. The discoloration is the result of an infection spreading through the tooth to the gums and jawbone. Major discoloration of a tooth is a sign of an infection that will most likely require endodontic surgery to treat.
A dental abscess forms from an infection in the tooth and starts at the bottom of the tooth root. A traditional dentist cannot treat a dental abscess without a form of surgery. Thus, it is crucial to seek professional treatment since a dental abscess causes incredible pain in and around the specific tooth.
This bump will appear to be a pimple on the gums near or around the infected tooth that is causing pain. If you notice this and other symptoms, then you will most likely need professional treatment. By visiting an endodontist, you will be able to find the cause for this bump and receive the most effective solution.
