Root canal infections may show up on x-rays, but only if the infection has been present for quite sometime. The real sign that you need a root canal is if you have spontaneous throbbing/aching pain that may radiate, the pain causes you to wake up at night, and you have pain to hot/cold food or drinks. Most infections that need a root canal will not show up on the x-ray, but are diagnosed via symptoms you are experiencing. READ MORE

What is the home remedy for cavity pain?
If you are having pain from a cavity, the only real remedy is removal of the infection and placement of a filling.

So every time you eat, brush if you can or swish with water to remove the sugar. But the only true remedy is to see a dentist and have them remove the infection completely. READ MORE
