Here are some guidelines that may be an indication that you might need a Root Canal.
Sometimes there are no outward symptoms but there may be evidence that shows up on an x-ray. If you are having any of these symptoms it would be best to make an appointment with your dentist or our office. While the majority of our patients are referred to us by their general dentist, a referral is not necessary to be seen in our office.
