A root canal is a dental procedure to treat and preserve a severely infected or damaged tooth. During the procedure, the dentist removes the infected or inflamed pulp within the tooth, cleans and disinfects the root canals, and then fills and seals them with a biocompatible material. This process not only alleviates pain and discomfort associated with the infection but also prevents the spread of bacteria, allowing the tooth to be saved and maintained in the oral cavity. At Hybrid Dental, root canals are crucial for preserving natural teeth and preventing the need for extraction, promoting long-term oral health and function.
During a root canal procedure, the Las Vegas dentist numbs the affected tooth and surrounding area with local anesthesia to ensure the patient's comfort. The dentist then creates a small access opening to reach the infected or damaged pulp inside the tooth. The diseased pulp is carefully removed, and the tooth's interior is cleaned, disinfected, and shaped. Once the tooth is prepared, a biocompatible material fills the empty root canals, and the access opening is sealed. In most cases, a dental crown is placed over the treated tooth to restore its strength and protect it from further damage. Root canals are highly effective in relieving pain, preserving natural teeth, and preventing the spread of infection, providing patients with a comfortable and long-term solution for dental health.
