Our Endodontist Serving Manhasset, Bayside, and Great Neck Describes Dental Symptoms
When to Contact an Endodontist for a Referral or Appointment
Many dental problems that require root canal treatment or endodontic care may begin with subtle symptoms that can only be detected through a professional examination and digital X-rays. However, more advanced dental infections or tooth damage often produce noticeable symptoms that should not be ignored.
If you are experiencing any of the following symptoms, contact your dentist for a referral or schedule an appointment directly with Great Neck Endodontics:
- Tooth pain triggered by hot, cold, or chewing
- Persistent or spontaneous tooth pain
- Increased tooth pain while lying down or during the night
- Swelling of the gums, mouth, face, or jaw
- Drainage, bleeding, or infection around the gums
- Cracked, broken, or severely decayed teeth
- A bad taste in the mouth, even after brushing
- Loose teeth or pressure discomfort
- Facial pain or jaw discomfort
- Sensitivity to temperature changes
Symptoms of Dental Trauma or Injury
Dental injuries may also require immediate evaluation by an endodontist. Symptoms associated with dental trauma may include:
- Chipped or fractured teeth
- Bleeding from a tooth or gums
- Tooth sensitivity to hot or cold temperatures
- Swelling after dental injury
- Teeth not aligning properly when biting down
- Pain while chewing or speaking
- Loss of one or more teeth
- Facial pain or swelling following trauma
