Endodontist in Bolingbrook
Root canal infections are serious business. Not only are they painful and uncomfortable, but if left untreated they can pose a serious threat to your overall oral and dental health. A root canal infection is the result of tooth decay. It can sometimes be the result of an untreated cavity or simply the result of tooth decay at the root of the tooth directly. No matter what the cause, our
endodontist in Bolingbrook, Linda Ricks, DDS, MS, PC, can help provide any patients in need with the root canal treatment necessary to restore oral health.
A root canal infection often has similar symptoms to a cavity, but may be more intense. Some of the symptoms may include toothaches, tooth pains, localized pain at the site of the infection, increased sensitivity, discomfort or sharp pain when consuming hot or cold foods and beverages, sharp pain when the site is exposed to open air or wind, or even pain when you apply or release pressure on your bite when chewing or biting. It is important that you visit your endodontist as soon as possible if you start to exhibit such symptoms. An untreated root canal infection can have serious side effects. Not only will you experience constant pain, but the decay can spread to any adjacent teeth, affect your gums and can even spread to your jawbone. Here with our
endodontist in Bolingbrook, Linda Ricks, DDS, MS, PC, you can get the root canal therapy you need to restore your oral health. Dr. Ricks will carefully remove any diseased pulp and decayed portions of tooth. Once this is complete, she will clean and smooth out the area left behind before filling it to prevent further infection. You may need a dental crown to fully restore the tooth following therapy depending on how much of the tooth had decayed and was removed.
Taking care of your dental health is incredibly important and it is especially important to treat any serious dental concerns as soon as possible. If you are experiencing any of the symptoms mentioned above, then our
endodontist in Bolingbrook can help provide you with the dental procedures that you need. Call us here at the dental offices of Linda Ricks, DDS, MS, PC to schedule an appointment today.
