Root canal therapy may preserve a natural tooth when the soft tissue inside it becomes infected or severely inflamed. Tooth pain needs a diagnosis; an examination helps determine whether root canal treatment, another restoration, or a referral is appropriate.
Looking for root canal therapy near Des Plaines? Dental Art Clinic welcomes patients from Des Plaines at our Mount Prospect office, located at 1512 N. Elmhurst Road, Mount Prospect, IL 60056.
Deep decay, cracks, or injury can affect the pulp inside a tooth. Symptoms may include lingering sensitivity, pain with biting, swelling, or a recurring gum bump, although symptoms vary. Pain alone cannot establish whether a root canal is needed. The dentist examines the tooth and may use X-rays and other tests.
The area is numbed and the tooth is isolated. The dentist removes affected pulp, cleans the canals, and fills and seals the space. A temporary restoration may be placed before the final filling or crown. The number of appointments and any need for an endodontist depend on the tooth and complexity of the problem.
Follow instructions for eating and cleaning while the tooth is temporarily restored, and return for the final restoration as advised. Some tenderness can occur after treatment. Contact the office for worsening pain or swelling. Facial swelling with difficulty breathing or swallowing requires immediate emergency medical attention. Antibiotics alone do not replace treatment of the source of a tooth infection.
For Des Plaines patients, the treatment plan should cover both the root canal and the restoration that follows. Ask when the temporary filling will be replaced and whether a crown is advised. Schedule the follow-up before leaving so the tooth receives the protection recommended by the dentist.

Many treated teeth benefit from a crown, but the decision depends on the tooth, bite forces, and remaining structure. Ask how and when your tooth will be restored.
Yes. Root canal treatment does not make the remaining tooth immune to decay. Daily cleaning and ongoing dental examinations remain important.
The options depend on whether the tooth can be restored predictably. Your dentist will discuss preservation, referral, or extraction when appropriate.
