Delaying treatment of a root canal leads to extended pain and can also impact your overall health. If your dentist says you require a root canal, it is best not to put off the procedure.

Key takeaways:

-  Infection can spread to other teeth and the gums when you delay having root canal treatment -- and can result in tooth loss.
-  The sooner your dentist can address a root canal problem, the easier it is to remove all infected matter.
-   Your oral health can affect your overall health as infections move to other areas of the body through the bloodstream.

"The longer you wait, the further the infection spreads. This makes it tougher to treat, especially in back teeth that have more roots for the infection to spread to."
