ROOT CANALS

HOME | ROOT CANALS

Root Canal Therapy in Aurora, IL

Root canals are tiny passageways that branch off from beneath the top of the tooth, coursing their way vertically downward, until they reach the tip of the root.

Root canal treatments were often painful in the earlier stages of dentistry. But with the latest dental advances and local anesthetics, patients can now experience no pain when having a root canal. It will probably even be more painful if you decide to keep your decayed tooth and leave it untreated.

The root canal procedure

Our teeth have a soft core called dental pulp. The dental pulp extends from the visible part of your tooth – the crown – to the tip of your tooth’s root in the jawbone. Our teeth’s pulp contains nerves, blood vessels and connective tissue. So when a tooth is cracked or has a deep cavity, bacteria will be able to enter the pulp and if left untreated, infection occurs and causes tooth pain.

Serious infection in the form of a tooth abscess will happen if a cracked or damaged tooth is left untreated. This will lead to pulp death, bone loss and loss of the tooth itself. The signs and symptoms you should watch out for is swelling around your face and neck, a hole in your tooth, toothache or tooth pain, gum swelling, and temperature sensitivity.

Avoid infection and tooth pain

To avoid bacterial infection and unnecessary dental treatments, consult with us to know your options. A root canal treatment is recommended to help prevent infection and tooth pain. Alternatives to root canals include extracting the damaged tooth and replacing it with a dental implant, bridge or removable partial denture.
