<\/a>Our teeth are made up of multiple layers. On the outside you have a protective layer of enamel, beneath that is a sensitive layer of dentin, and at the very center of the tooth is the nerve. When a tooth has been fractured or is severely decayed, this inner chamber can become damaged, making the patient vulnerable to an infection and other uncomfortable symptoms.\r\n\r\nTo treat these symptoms and prevent tooth loss, Dr. Latner<\/a> can recommend a root canal<\/a>. The purpose of a root canal<\/b> is to save a compromised tooth, and the root underneath, by removing the damaged nerve and any infected material from the center of the tooth. What\u2019s removed will be replaced by a biologically inert material known as gutta-percha. The procedure will end with the tooth being capped by a custom-made crown. This crown will restore your tooth\u2019s appearance and functionality.\r\n\r\nOf course, the term \u201croot canal<\/b>\u201d has a negative connotation, but at Westside Dental Associates<\/b>, Dr. Latner<\/b> offers comfortable care with oral conscious sedation<\/a>. What\u2019s more, our Los Angeles<\/b> office uses contemporary tools to make care quicker and more efficient. We\u2019ll also talk to you about your procedure beforehand to dispel any myths and answer your most important questions.\r\n\r\nAre you concerned that you might need a root canal<\/b>, or do you simply have questions about the procedure? Call<\/a> Westside Dental Associates<\/b> for an appointment with Dr. Latner<\/b>. During your appointment we\u2019ll complete a thorough oral exam to determine what your needs are. Then we can begin putting your personalized treatment plan together.\r\n\r\nWe offer root canal therapy<\/b> to patients from Los Angeles<\/b>, Santa Monica<\/b>, Beverly Hills<\/b>, West LA<\/b>, Mar Vista<\/b>, Culver City<\/b>, Rancho Park<\/b>, Westwood<\/b>, Brentwood<\/b>, Venice<\/b>, Marina<\/b> del<\/b> Rey<\/b>, and Playa<\/b> Vista<\/b>.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Our teeth are made up of multiple layers.
