Is my root canal tooth infected? Dr. Kelly Blodgett explains signs, symptoms, and why a root canal-treated tooth may still cause concern.

In this video, Dr. Kelly Blodgett, DMD and Mara from Blodgett Dental Care in Portland, Oregon discuss one of the most common questions patients ask: “Is my root canal tooth infected?” Dr. Blodgett explains why the root of a tooth is porous, how bacteria may move through tiny tunnels in the tooth structure, and why a root canal-treated tooth can become infected even if symptoms are not obvious right away.

If you have a root canal-treated tooth and are experiencing pain, swelling, gum tenderness, sinus issues, pressure, bad taste, drainage, jaw discomfort, or a feeling that something is not right, this video can help you understand why further evaluation may be important.

ABOUT THIS VIDEO

A common concern is being told that a root canal tooth “looks fine” on an X-ray while the patient still feels something is wrong. Dr. Blodgett explains that patients are often their own best reporters of their health. If a tooth feels off, hurts, swells, drains, or creates pressure, it may be worth looking deeper.

At Blodgett Dental Care, we evaluate root canal-treated teeth from a biological and whole-body dental perspective. That may include advanced imaging, oral health history, symptoms, bite, bone health, infection concerns, and the patient’s overall health goals.

Every patient is different. This video is not meant to diagnose your tooth online. It is meant to help you ask better questions and seek a thorough evaluation if you are concerned about a root canal-treated tooth.
