Endodontics in Olympia Fields, IL, includes root canals and the treatment of tooth pain focused on salvaging your natural teeth.

What Are Root Canals?

A root canal is a procedure used to salvage a tooth by removing an infected and damaged root nerve. The surgery involves gently removing the nerve and pulp in order to prevent further damage to the surrounding tissues, teeth and gum. Even though endodontics is often referred to as a root canal, the root itself does not get removed. Only the soft tissue from inside the structure is removed to eliminate the infection. If your tooth has experienced minimal decay, then a small filling may be the required treatment. However, if the tooth decay is severe, then root canal therapy will be required for restoration.

Symptoms & Causes of Infected Pulp

• A cracked or broken tooth
• A deep cavity
• Repeated dental procedures
• Injury to the tooth (even if there’s not a visible crack or chip)

What Is A Root Canal Like?

Most of the time, a root canal is a relatively simple procedure with little or no discomfort. Best of all, it can save your tooth and your smile in one to three visits!
