Root canal Aurora
If you have a tooth that is painful when you eat something that is hot or cold, or it is painful when it is pressed upon, you may likely have a tooth that is damaged or infected in its interior. If this is the case, you will need to have a root canal treatment at our endodontic office, Linda Ricks, DDS, MS, PC. When you get a
root canal Aurora from our dentist, Dr. Linda Ricks, you will remain perfectly comfortable due to our use of modern endodontic techniques and dental anesthesia.
When the nerve of a tooth is affected by decay, infection, or inflammation, it will need to have a root canal Aurora in order to be saved. Without this type of treatment, the tooth will only become worse and will eventually need to be extracted, or will fall out on its own. Years ago, people feared having root canal treatments because they were uncomfortable to go through. However, today due to the use of modern dental anesthesia and technology, patients are able to have a root canal treatment at our office while they remain in total comfort. During a root canal procedure, our endodontist will gain access to the center of the tooth and all infected or damaged pulp will be removed. The root canal system is then thoroughly cleaned and the entire tooth is sealed. A root canal treatment can take one or two office visits. Once our endodontist has had a chance to review your particular tooth situation she will be able to let you know whether or not a root canal treatment can likely save your tooth, and how many office visits the procedure will take you. Happily, root canal treatments are successful in over 90% of cases. If this does not seem to be a good alternative for you, our endodontist will talk to about this during your initial consultation, and alternative plans can be made to restore your mouth to excellent dental health.
