Signs of a tooth root infection?

Tooth root inflammation usually occurs when bacteria penetrate deep into the tooth. This can happen as a result of deep tooth decay, a crack in the tooth, or a leaky old filling.
Throbbing or persistent toothache
Pain when chewing or biting down
Sensitivity to heat or cold
Swelling around the affected tooth
Dark discoloration of the tooth
Symptoms with no clear visible cause

Why act quickly?

An infected tooth root will not heal on its own. Without treatment, the infection can spread, damage the bone, or cause the tooth to be lost. The sooner we intervene, the greater the chance of saving the tooth and keeping the procedure minimal.
