Root Canal Therapy Can Save a Tooth from Extraction
If you've been told that you need a root canal or tooth extraction, visit Dr. Arian for a second opinion. While root canals have gotten a bad stigma, modern dentistry allows us to perform comfortable and precise root canal therapy, often in one visit. Each of your teeth contains a nerve, also called the pulp of the tooth, which brings nutrients to the tooth and removes waste. Because teeth are living, growing structures, they require access to the body's blood flow. When the nerve within a tooth's canals becomes damaged or infected, the tooth can die. You're faced with two options: try to save the tooth with root canal therapy, or extract it.
During a root canal, Dr. Arian removes the damaged nerve, along with infection or bacteria, and fills the tooth's canal with optimum manmade material to prevent further infection. After a crown is fitted onto the tooth, the procedure is complete. You'll maintain your original tooth, but it will not actually be alive.
Root canal therapy is more appealing than extraction because it keeps the patient's bite intact, keeps surrounding teeth from shifting (which occurs when teeth are missing), and negates the need for a replacement tooth.
Call for your consultation or second-opinion visit with Dr. Arian. He'll be happy to discuss your options for root canal therapy. Our Las Vegas dental office caters to your comfort, so rest assured that your procedure will be rewarding.
