Batavia endodontic specialist
If you happen to be experiencing any kind of oral pain then it is important that you get to a dentist as soon as you can. This is often the sign of an infection or inflammation, and in either case it is imperative that you seek proper medical treatment as soon as possible. In some cases the pain may be due to decay. This can affect any part of the tooth, even the root. If your tooth root becomes infected then you will need to see a root canal specialist. If you happen to be in need of a
Batavia endodontic specialist, then call us here at the offices of Linda Ricks DDS, MS, PC in order to get the care that you need.
If a root canal becomes infected, treatment may be a bit more complicated. If a tooth experiences tooth decay and develops a cavity, the cavity can be cleared out and filled to prevent further infection. Root canal therapy involves a similar procedure but it additionally requires that the infected tooth pulp be removed as well. This is why you need to seek the help of a root canal specialist or an endodontist. Here with our
Batavia endodontic specialist Linda Ricks DDS, MS, PC you can get the comprehensive root canal care that you need. First, any inflamed tissue must be dealt with and removed. From there, decayed portions of tooth will be removed along with the infected root pulp, leaving behind whatever remains of the healthy tooth. The area will be cleaned and filled out in to prevent further infection, much like a dental filling for a cavity. You may need an additional dental cap or crown in order to fully restore the tooth if it is not completely even after treatment so that it can return to its previous working shape. This way, your tooth will be able to function properly once more. Once the procedure is over you will need to visit with Dr. Ricks again in order to make sure that the procedure was successful and no additional work needs to be completed. From there, you can go home and care for your tooth.
If you experience any kind of oral pain, the sooner you seek medical help the better. Doing so can help limit the amount of damage and decay that is causing your pain which will help save as much of your natural tooth as possible. If you are in need of a
Batavia endodontic specialist to perform root canal therapy that you need, our root canal specialist Linda Ricks DDS, MS, PC is here to help.
