Discomfort from a root canal infection is caused by a bacterial invasion that penetrates deep inside the tooth, specifically the tooth pulp. This can result from a chip or crack in the tooth or a fractured root, which gives access to bacteria. Because the tooth pulp is essentially where all the nerves, blood vessels and connective tissue are housed, infections within the root canal chambers can be extremely distressing.
Moreover, if left untreated, the problem can worsen, leading to a tooth abscess and even tooth loss. For this reason, it’s important to get the problem treated as soon as possible.
