Does a tooth that was hit need a root canal?

Not always. A traumatized tooth does not automatically require root canal treatment.

The need for treatment depends on factors such as:

  • The type and severity of the injury
  • Whether the pulp remains healthy
  • Symptoms and testing results
  • Changes seen on imaging

At ARCS, we carefully evaluate the tooth before recommending treatment. Our goal is always to provide the right treatment at the right time.
