3. Tooth sensitivity
Have you been experiencing tooth sensitivity at times when you end up drinking something hot or eating something cold? This sensitivity to cold or warm foods and beverages is unfortunately a repercussion and sign of a root canal!
This type of sensitivity manifests as a sudden, sharp pain when your teeth come into contact with a different temperature or as a dull ache as a result of eating or drinking something hot or cold.
The best way to figure out if your pain is related to a root canal or something else is to pay attention when it happens. If the pain lingers and you can feel it after the initial shock for longer, even when you have stopped eating or drinking the beverage or food, then it is likely a tooth infection.
Other times, this tooth sensitivity can be a sign that the nerves or blood vessels in your tooth are inflamed, damaged, or infected. In the end, any time you find your teeth have a new sensitivity, you should go check it out.
