Besides anchoring your tooth to your jaw, roots also spur bone growth, keeping the jaw fresh and strong throughout your life. When you lose a root, the jaw underneath can weaken. Over time, nearby teeth may shift out of place or be lost entirely. A <strong>root canal<\/strong> gets rid of your painful symptoms and prevents these kinds of changes from happening.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Do you have a tooth that&rsquo;s sensitive to hot or cold foods? Is there a pimple-like sore on your gum tissue? Are you experiencing swelling, pain when you chew, or other uncomfortable symptoms?
