At Candlewood Gentle Dental, we believe that great dental care goes beyond appearances—it’s about function, comfort, and long-term oral health. If you're experiencing persistent tooth pain, jaw discomfort, or difficulty chewing, you may be dealing with a more complex issue such as a deep infection or a temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorder. Our team is experienced in diagnosing and treating these conditions with precision, compassion, and the latest technology.
When a tooth becomes infected or severely decayed, a root canal can be the procedure that saves it. Despite its reputation, modern root canal therapy is typically no more uncomfortable than receiving a filling—and it’s one of the most effective ways to relieve pain and preserve your natural tooth.
During the procedure, we carefully remove the infected pulp, clean and disinfect the inner chamber, and seal the tooth to prevent future issues. We then restore the tooth with a crown or filling to ensure long-term strength and function.
Choosing root canal treatment at our Fairfield office means you're opting for a solution that helps you avoid tooth extraction, maintains your bite alignment, and keeps your smile looking and feeling its best. We use digital imaging and gentle techniques to ensure an efficient and comfortable experience.
Jaw pain, headaches, clicking or popping when you open your mouth—these are often signs of a TMJ disorder. The temporomandibular joints connect your jaw to your skull, and when these joints are strained or misaligned, it can lead to chronic discomfort and limited function.
At Candlewood Gentle Dental, we provide non-invasive solutions to manage TMJ symptoms. We begin with a thorough evaluation to understand the cause of your discomfort, whether it’s related to bite issues, stress, or grinding habits. Depending on the diagnosis, treatment may include custom-made night guards, bite adjustments, physical therapy recommendations, or other conservative interventions.
Our goal is to restore comfort and balance to your bite so that everyday activities like chewing, speaking, and smiling no longer cause discomfort. TMJ therapy can be especially helpful for kids and teens experiencing early signs of jaw stress, and we take a gentle, personalized approach for every age group.
If you're not dealing with infection or joint pain but are simply in need of routine dental care, we also provide high-quality teeth cleaning and tooth fillings in Fairfield, CT. Regular cleanings are essential to prevent gum disease and decay, and they give us an opportunity to detect issues before they become bigger problems.
When cavities do occur, our tooth-colored fillings restore function while maintaining a natural appearance. We use durable, aesthetic materials to ensure your dental work blends seamlessly with your smile.
We understand that procedures like root canals or TMJ therapy can feel intimidating. That’s why we take extra care to explain each step of your treatment plan, answer your questions, and ensure you're comfortable every step of the way. With advanced technology and a gentle approach, we aim to deliver efficient, effective care you can trust.
If you’re looking for a trusted provider for root canal therapy, TMJ treatment, tooth fillings, or teeth cleaning in Fairfield, CT, our team is here to help. Early intervention can prevent bigger issues down the road—and we’re committed to helping you keep your smile healthy and pain-free for years to come.
