They say everyday has a holiday attached to it and today is no different!
Today is National Root Canal Appreciation Day, which is observed on the 2nd Wednesday of May.
A root canal is necessary to save a tooth when its inner pulp becomes infected, inflamed, or damaged, usually due to deep decay, cracks, or trauma.
Not sure if you might need a root canal? No problem! Next time you are in the office, please be sure to ask your dentist and let them know if you are experiencing any of the following
🦷persistent tooth pain or sensitivity to hot and cold
🦷swelling or tenderness near the affected tooth
🦷darkening of the tooth or gum area
