Root Canal Pain in Siliguri
Before treatment
Spontaneous toothache, sensitivity that lingers after hot or cold, pain on biting or swelling can be associated with pulpal or periapical problems and should be assessed.
After treatment
Some tenderness can occur after root canal treatment, particularly when the tissues around the tooth were inflamed. Follow the clinician's aftercare instructions.
When to contact the dentist
Contact the clinic if pain is severe or worsening, swelling develops, the tooth feels increasingly high when biting, or symptoms do not settle as expected.
Why examination matters
Clinical examination and appropriate dental imaging help determine whether root canal treatment is indicated and whether another problem is responsible for the symptoms.
