Carrying out a root canal is extremely important.
Our teeth consist of dental enamel, dentin, and pulp. Dental enamel is the outer layer, dentin is underneath, and the pulp, located beneath the dentin, contains connective tissue, nerves, and blood vessels.
If bacteria enter the pulp through a cavity, fracture, or trauma, it can cause an infection. An infected tooth can be extremely painful and may require extraction if left untreated.
Tooth loss can lead to oral health problems like bone loss and shifting teeth. Root canal treatment can eliminate the infection, preserve natural teeth, and enhance oral health with less discomfort and faster recovery compared to extraction.
Indications that you might require a root canal treatment include:
Possible indications of a tooth infection or abscess may include:
- Intense pain in the tooth
- Discomfort or swelling in the jaw
- Extreme sensitivity in the tooth
- A bump on the gum that looks like a pimple
- Gums that are swollen, red, or inflamed
- Potential bad taste or odor in the mouth
If you notice any of these symptoms and think you may have a tooth infection, please contact our dental office in North Auroraright away. It is important to seek prompt treatment for a root canal infection to ensure your well-being and comfort. Visit us at our North Aurora location.
What occurs during a root canal procedure?
Patients may feel anxious about getting a root canal, but there is no need to be scared as the procedure is not frightening. Our dentists use advanced 3-D cone-beam (CBCT) imaging to carefully plan your treatment, providing a complete view of the tooth from all angles.
This 3-D view helps our dentists assess the tooth's structure accurately and customize the procedure to meet your individual needs. When combined with anesthesia, this cutting-edge technology greatly improves patient comfort and the final result. Patients usually feel significant relief right after the procedure.
We guarantee your comfort.
If you experience anxiety about dental procedures, we have the perfect solution for you. Our oral sedation technique will help you relax during your treatment. In addition, we provide neck pillows, blankets, and TVs in our treatment rooms to enhance your comfort and ease.
Prior to beginning the procedure, our dentist will administer a potent local anesthetic to numb the tooth, ensuring a pain-free experience. If you are experiencing pain upon arrival at our clinic, you can anticipate immediate relief once the tooth is numb!
