Bolingbrook with our root canal specialist, Linda Ricks, DDS, MS, PC. Dr. Ricks will be able to assess your root canal infection and begin prescribing your pain free therapy and treatment after a brief visit.
Many people tend to fear the dentist because they feel that the experience may be uncomfortable or painful. When it comes to serious dental conditions such as a root canal infection, letting the condition go untreated can be worlds more painful than having it taken care of. Additionally, any infections or signs of tooth decay can create serious issues if left untreated as well. The decay can easily spread to rot the toot entirely and may even spread to adjacent teeth and affect your gums and jawbone as well. But with Linda Ricks, DDS, MS, PC,
root canal therapy here in Bolingbrook is easy and simple. After assessing your affected tooth, Dr. Ricks can begin deciphering how to approach your specific case. When it comes to root canal therapy, typically Dr. Ricks will begin by removing any inflamed or infected tissue surrounding the area. Once this is done, she will then remove the infected tooth root, cleaning out the remaining cavity of any decay or bacteria. The opening left behind is then smoothed an filled to prevent further infection and to preserve the structure of the tooth itself. A dental cap or crown may be needed to fully restore your tooth's shape and function.
You will not have to worry about any pain during this procedure since you will be given an anesthetic to make the complete experience as comfortable as possible. Linda Ricks, DDS, MS, PC will make sure that your
root canal treatment is as successful as possible by providing you with the most attentive care. If you feel you may have a root canal infection, then schedule an appointment with Linda Ricks, DDS, MS, PC here at our offices in Bolingbrook today.
