While dental braces are often associated with teenagers, there are also many options available for adults as well. No matter which age group you are in, there is an orthodontic treatment available with braces in Naperville. Traditional Braces in Naperville Without orthodontic treatment with braces, jaw growth and alignment can be affected. This can cause an overall decline in oral health. Braces can be used as early as age six, when a child’s jaw is still developing and malocclusion is in its earliest stage. Malocclusion is simply an abnormal alignment of the upper and lower teeth. To determine the best type of braces your dentist will assess the malocclusion issues in relation to spacing and jaw alignment.

  Root Canal Therapy

  The dreaded root canal therapy. Most people dread hearing the news that they need a root canal. While root canal therapy is a common dental procedure to eliminate infections in the teeth, it continues to place a negative image in patients’ minds. However, patients can rest easy knowing our dentist offers the most comfortable, efficient experience possible when root canal therapy is needed. What is Root Canal Therapy? Root canal therapy is a procedure where a dentist removes bad bacteria from the pulp of a tooth. That bacteria forms inside of the tooth for many reasons. Poor dental health is one of the most common causes. Also, when someone does not fix a cracked tooth, it is easier for bad bacteria to enter and attack the tooth from the inside out. An untreated infection inside of a tooth makes it painful, discolored and could eventually lead to the loss of that tooth.

  Tooth Extractions

  A dental extraction involves removing a tooth from its place in the jaw bone. Extractions are done in dental offices by either the dentist or a dental surgeon and are usually performed under local or general anesthesia. A dental extraction is recommended when tooth decay is severe and nothing can be done to save the tooth, or when the tooth is infected or vulnerable to infection. Types of Tooth Extractions There are two primary types of tooth extractions, simple and surgical. During a simple extraction, the dentist will use forceps to remove the tooth completely. In more complicated cases the tooth may be removed in pieces for your comfort. A simple extraction is performed under local anesthesia. Surgical extractions are performed by the dental surgeon in cases where a simple extraction is not possible. Surgical extractions are generally performed under general anesthesia.
