Root Canal Therapy

Naperville, IL Dentist

Root canal therapy is designed to treat the core – or pulp – of a tooth that is inflamed, infected, or has died. The pulp is a soft substance that encompasses nerves, blood vessels, and connective tissue.

Infection indicators encompass visible damage or swelling, temperature sensitivity, or discomfort in the tooth and gums. If you exhibit any of these symptoms, please reach out to Pebblewood Dental for an assessment.

The root canal treatment process entails the removal of the pulp from the tooth chamber and canals. We subsequently clean the canals using a sterilizing solution. Throughout your root canal therapy, we may administer local anesthesia or sedation to ensure optimal comfort.

Post-treatment, we may apply a temporary filling to shield your tooth until your restoration procedure is finalized. You might experience sensitivity in the treated tooth for a few days, which can be alleviated with over-the-counter or prescribed pain relief medications, as recommended. Refrain from chewing on the treated tooth until the complete restoration is in place. Should you encounter any complications, contact Pebblewood Dental promptly.

Root canal therapy can aid in maintaining your tooth for an entire lifetime. Contact our office today for a consultation with our professional team.
