Root Resorption Symptoms | Cosmetic Dentistry

Root Resorption is a condition where the body begins to break down and absorb the root structure of a tooth. This process can occur due to trauma, infection, orthodontic treatment, or unknown causes. It often goes unnoticed in its early stages, making regular dental checkups at Prime Dental Center crucial for early detection and treatment. Common Symptoms of Root Resorption Tooth Discoloration – Affected teeth may appear darker or pinkish due to internal changes in the structure. Increased Sensitivity – You might experience discomfort when consuming hot, cold, or sweet foods and beverages. Pain or Discomfort – As resorption progresses, it can lead to toothache or tenderness in the affected area. Unexplained Tooth Mobility – Teeth may feel loose, indicating the loss of root support. Gum Swelling or Inflammation – The surrounding gums might appear swollen, irritated, or recede. Small Holes or Pits in Teeth – External root resorption can lead to visible damage on the surface of the tooth.
