Dental infections do not always begin with severe pain. Many patients initially notice prolonged sensitivity to hot or cold foods, tenderness while chewing, or swelling around the gums. These symptoms may indicate inflammation inside the tooth pulp.
Ignoring early signs can allow infection to spread, sometimes leading to abscess formation or tooth loss. Early diagnosis allows dentists to treat the tooth conservatively and prevent more complex procedures later.
If symptoms such as lingering sensitivity or pressure discomfort appear, an evaluation for Root Canal Therapy in Markham can help determine whether treatment is needed to preserve the natural tooth.
