This is why it is crucial to seek professional treatment from an endodontist who has the experience and tools to perform the necessary endodontic surgery. Do not hesitate to schedule an examination to determine the extent and cause of the pain. If endodontic surgery is necessary, there will be specific signs to look out for. Here are seven signs that you need endodontic surgery.<\/p>\n<h3 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\">#1. Continuous pain after a professional cleaning<\/h3>\n<div class=\"divider divider-solid\"><\/div>\n<p>While it is common to experience pain from having food sticking between the teeth, the pain one will feel that requires endodontic surgery will be much more severe. A general dentist may be able to treat a minor infection with non-surgical means, but if the infection is too great, then an endodontist will be necessary.<\/p>\n<a name=\"sensitive-to-hot-or-cold-foods\"><\/a>\n<h3 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\">#2. Increased sensitivity to hot and cold<\/h3>\n<div class=\"divider divider-solid\"><\/div>\n<p>When you consume anything hot or cold, you may have a slight reaction on your teeth or in your mouth, which is completely natural. However, if the reaction is solely from the teeth and is much greater than normal, then you may need an endodontic procedure. If you have the reaction to any drink or food item, then you definitely need an examination. The pain can be due to the enamel on the teeth being weaker or the inside of the tooth having an infection.<\/p>\n<h3 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\">#3. Pain and tenderness to touching the teeth or chewing<\/h3>\n<div class=\"divider divider-solid\"><\/div>\n<p>While it is possible to hurt the teeth by applying too much pressure, an endodontic surgery is only necessary when the teeth feel intense pain from hardly any pressure. If you feel pain when chewing on any type of food or from the slightest touch of a tooth brush, then you need to schedule an examination as soon as possible. People may assume that this pain is only temporary or bearable, but the pain will only get worse and interrupt one's daily routine.<\/p>\n<h3 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\">#4. Swelling and drainage of gums around the tooth<\/h3>\n<div class=\"divider divider-solid\"><\/div>\n<p>If you notice any odd drainage or swelling around a specific tooth, then a root canal may be the most efficient method to treat and save that tooth. When the pulp of the tooth is infected, it can slowly spread to the gums and even jawbone surrounding the tooth. When this occurs, it is even more crucial to seek professional services such as endodontic surgery.<\/p>\n<h3 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\">#5. Abnormal discoloration of a specific tooth<\/h3>\n<div class=\"divider divider-solid\"><\/div>\n<p>While teeth gradually discolor from consuming wine, coffee, tea, tobacco and other products, it is not common to see a drastic discoloration. Even if one is forgetful with brushing twice a day, a sudden discoloration in the teeth is unnatural. The discoloration is the result of an infection spreading through the tooth to the gums and jawbone. Major discoloration of a tooth is a sign of an infection that will most likely require endodontic surgery to treat.<\/p>\n<a name=\"worried-about-a-dental-abscess\"><\/a>\n<h3 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\">#6. You have a dental abscess at the bottom of the tooth root<\/h3>\n<div class=\"divider divider-solid\"><\/div>\n<p>A dental abscess forms from an infection in the tooth and starts at the bottom of the tooth root. A traditional dentist cannot treat a dental abscess without a form of surgery. Thus, it is crucial to seek professional treatment since a dental abscess causes incredible pain in and around the specific tooth.<\/p>\n<h3 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\">#7. You notice and feel a tiny bump near the tooth<\/h3>\n<div class=\"divider divider-solid\"><\/div>\n<p>This bump will appear to be a pimple on the gums near or around the infected tooth that is causing pain. If you notice this and other symptoms, then you will most likely need professional treatment. By visiting an endodontist, you will be able to find the cause for this bump and receive the most effective solution.<\/p>\n<\/div><!-- \/.col -->\n<\/div><!-- \/.row -->\n<\/div><!-- \/.main-service-content .section-block --><!-- \/sContent mute -->\n\n<div class=\"call-out bg-secondary\"><!-- Call-out block -->\n<p>If you live in the Agoura Hills area, call <a title=\"Click to call SoCal Dental of Agoura at (818) 597-0100\" href=\"tel:+1-818-597-0100\" class=\"TLBC\" id=\"CTC-Phone-Formatted-0\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">(818) 597-0100<\/a> to schedule your dental exam so that you can remain in good health or receive treatment for a current condition.<\/p>\n<\/div><!-- \/.call-out --><!-- \/Call-out block -->\n<div class=\"faq-section section-block bg-primary\"><!-- sContent secondary -->\n<h5 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast center-align\">Questions Answered on This Page<\/h5>\n<div class=\"divider divider-solid\"><\/div>\n<p class=\"questions text-contrast\"><span>Q.<\/span> <a title=\"Q.
