 Fact
• While a throbbing toothache usually results in the need for
root canal treatment, many times a tooth can require root
canal treatment when there is no pain present.

• Dentists and endodontists are specially trained to test a

damaged. If this is the case, a root canal would be necessary to
save the tooth.
