Here at Prairie Lakes Family Dentistry, we look forward to serving endodontic patients from Tracy, Balaton, and Walnut Grove, Minnesota, as well as the surrounding area.

What Are the Symptoms of an Infected Tooth?

When the root of a tooth becomes badly infected, it causes extreme pain. You’ll notice the pain when you bite down or chew. You may also have a painful sensation when you drink hot or cold liquids, which can linger for a time. Some patients in need of endodontic treatment have small, pimple-like bumps on their gums when they come in for their consultation. These are all common signs of a tooth with an infected root.
