Save Your Tooth and Relieve Pain
A root canal is a procedure designed to treat an infected or severely decayed tooth by removing the damaged tissue from inside the tooth and sealing it to prevent further infection. At Loves Park Family Dental and Orthodontics, we perform root canals with precision and care to help save your natural tooth and eliminate the pain associated with tooth infections. Our goal is to provide you with long-lasting relief and restore your tooth’s function and appearance.
Who Needs a Root Canal?
Root canal therapy is recommended when the inner pulp of a tooth becomes infected due to deep decay, cracks, or trauma. Common symptoms of a need for a root canal include severe tooth pain, sensitivity to hot or cold, or swelling around the affected area. If you’re in the Loves Park, IL area and suspect you need a root canal, don’t hesitate to schedule an appointment—early intervention can prevent further damage and the need for tooth extraction.
