Root Canal | Aurora, IL | Prairie Point Dental

UNDERSTANDING ROOT CANAL TREATMENT WITH PRAIRIE POINT DENTAL

Root canal therapy, also known as endodontic treatment, becomes necessary when the innermost layer of your tooth, known as the pulp, becomes infected or damaged. This can occur due to deep decay, repeated dental procedures on the same tooth, or trauma such as a chipped tooth that exposes the root. The procedure involves:

  • CAREFULLY REMOVING THE INFECTED OR DAMAGED PULP.
  • CLEANING AND DISINFECTING THE ROOT CANALS.
  • SEALING THE SPACE TO PREVENT FURTHER INFECTION.

Contrary to common misconceptions, modern root canal procedures at Prairie Point Dental are performed with advanced techniques and local anesthesia, ensuring minimal discomfort.

SIGNS THAT MEAN YOU MAY NEED ROOT CANAL TREATMENT WITH OUR DENTAL EXPERTS

Recognizing the signs that may indicate the need for a root canal is crucial for prompt intervention. Common indicators include persistent toothaches, heightened sensitivity to hot or cold temperatures, swelling around the gums, and tooth darkening. If you experience any of these symptoms, it's essential to seek professional dental care promptly. Our experienced team at Prairie Point Dental will conduct a thorough examination, including digital imaging, to diagnose the extent of the issue and determine if a root canal is the appropriate course of action. Early intervention can often prevent the need for more extensive dental procedures and preserve your natural tooth.
