Even if Your Toothache Goes Away, Do You Still Need a Root Canal?

Toothaches are one of the most common signs of a tooth infection, which requires root canal treatment to cure. Unfortunately, this pain can often be so severe and bothersome that it requires people to call out of work, put their days and plans on hold, and wait until they can receive care from a dentist. In some cases, it’s possible for that pain to also disappear, leaving patients to wonder whether they need a root canal after all. Read on to learn why toothaches can go away and whether a root canal is still needed if you aren’t in pain.
