Tooth Pain That Won’t Go Away?
Tooth pain can be frustrating and, sometimes, easy to brush off. Maybe it comes and goes. Maybe it only hurts when you chew. But when a tooth just doesn’t feel quite right, it could be your body’s way of letting you know something deeper is going on. In many cases, that pain means the inner part of your tooth—called the pulp—may be inflamed or infected. When that happens, a root canal may be the best way to stop the pain, remove the infection, and save your natural tooth.
