Does root canal infection show up on an x-ray?
Yes, an infection can be seen on an x-ray which would signify that a tooth is in need of a root canal. This is often presented as a dark area surrounding the tip of the root of a tooth, or tooth decay or a large filling that is seen close to the nerve of the tooth. But to be clear, this is not always visible on an x-ray. Other things must be evaluated such as possible symptoms of pain or sensitivity, and knowing the history of the tooth (ie, if it’s had trauma, deep cavities, or history of a deep filling). If a tooth already has a root canal and has a re-infection, then yes the infection can also be seen on a dental x-Ray. X-rays are extremely important because sometimes a tooth can have zero pain even if an infection is present. Hope this answers your question! Dr. Greco READ MORE
