When is Root Canal Treatment Needed? Root Canal Vs. Filling
While minor cavities require a filling for treatment, an advanced cavity that has infected the nerves and blood vessels (pulp) within your tooth will require a root canal. During the root canal treatment, the pulp is completely removed in order to preserve the hard exterior of the tooth, which is then crowned to prevent further damage.
Symptoms of a Root Canal Infection
What Signs Indicate the Need for a Root Canal treatment?
Sensitive Teeth
Eating a cold bowl of ice cream or a hot bowl of soup can lead to a sharp pain or a dull ache in your tooth.
Consistent Pain
Pain may disappear for hours or days, but if it keeps returning, it's time to see a dentist.
Swollen Gums
Swelling around the infected tooth can be caused by a buildup of waste around the dead pulp tissue.
Tooth Discoloration
Bacteria in the pulp of your tooth can result in a grey-black discoloration of the infected tooth.

Don't Ignore the Symptoms Call our Orland Park practice today.
If you are experiencing symptoms of an infection, it is best to treat it as soon as possible to prevent the infection from spreading. If left untreated, further oral health complications can occur. These infections can be worse if you have diabetes or other autoimmune issues and put your overall health at risk. Don't wait or ignore the symptoms. If you believe you have an infection and need root canal treatment, contact us using our online form or call us to schedule a consultation.

The Step-by-Step Process of a Root Canal Procedure
From beginning to end, here is what you can expect when undergoing a root canal at Premier Dental and Implant Center:
Unlike a traditional dentist, Dr. Al-Sabek has undergone special training in root canals.
Aren't Root Canals Painful?
No. It is a common misconception that root canals are painful. Your dentist will numb the area using a local anesthetic before your root canal treatment begins. This ensures you do not feel any pain. If you have dental anxiety or phobia, or you simply need an extra level of comfort care, our Orland Park, IL, dental practice offers sedation options to help ensure maximum comfort during treatment. Our sedation options include:
Oral Conscious Sedation
- This method involves taking an oral sedative about an hour before your procedure. This will help you feel comfortable during treatment. You will be groggy and unable to drive, so you will need a responsible adult to take you home.
IV Sedation
- This type of sedation is given via an IV. You will feel the effects almost immediately. Like oral conscious sedation, you will need a responsible adult to drive you home following treatment.
