Root Canals Treatment by Naperville Dentist Dr. Nitu Singh, DMD - Cosmetic Dentistry, Dentists in Naperville, Plainfield & Bolingbrook, Illinois (IL)

Root Canals

Keep Your Teeth Free from Infection

Are you experiencing a toothache? Is a tooth particularly sensitive to hot and cold? Have any of your teeth grown darker? These are all signs that decay is present in one or more of your roots.

No one looks forward to the prospect of a root canal. At certain times, however, we must do what is best to protect teeth that must last us for an entire lifetime. Yet when decay has reached a nerve within one of your teeth and inflamed or infected it, a root canal may become necessary.

If it is, we get it: you want the fastest, most effective procedure with little or no discomfort - in and out of that dental chair as fast as possible.

Your roots deserve the most conservative, technologically advanced care. You can trust Naperville and Plainfield Dentist, Dr. Nitu Singh to restore your tooth by gently removing the infection with little or no discomfort. We proceed at a calm speed that clears away all infection and returns you to your normal lifestyle in complete comfort.

Post-Operative Instructions

After your root canal is complete, it's normal to experience some measure of discomfort for several days. To relieve this discomfort, please take the pain medication recommended by Dr. Singh. If antibiotics are prescribed, continue to take them throughout the duration of the prescription, even if all of your symptoms or any signs of infection are gone.

Dr. Singh recommends the placement of a crown after a root canal. In the meanwhile, to reduce pain and swelling, rinse three times a day with warm salt water. Avoid chewing sticky foods like gum or hard foods like ice, etc. If possible, chew only on the opposite side of your mouth.

If your bite feels persistently awkward - or if you experience continued pain - please call Dr. Singh's office immediately.

Keep your teeth free from infection in the safest, most gentle way: trust them to Naperville and Plainfield dental professional Dr. Nitu Singh. We welcome you to schedule a complimentary consultation with us today.
