Does experiencing heat sensitivity in a tooth always mean a root canal is necessary?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Unfortunately, mostost often dental pain caused by heat is an initial indicator that an infection is present, or is soon follow. Basically pressure and pain are caused by heating fluid (infection) inside a closed space (tooth). It is also possible to be a periodontal infection. Regardless, I suggest getting it evaluated sooner than later.
