The dentist then creates a small opening to remove the infected pulp and thoroughly clean and disinfect the root canal, which often brings immediate relief. Once cleaned, the canals are filled with a rubber-like material and sealed, with a temporary filling placed for protection. Finally, a crown or permanent filling is added to restore strength and full function to the tooth.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0ba64f4 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"0ba64f4\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ea5d639 add-span-after elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"ea5d639\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/dentistry.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/elementor\/thumbs\/RootCanal_WhatToExpect-rnr4if8ug1nutfatkdp85em9zaq78tk5ee7i4ucuqo.png\" title=\"RootCanal_WhatToExpect\" alt=\"Root canal procedure steps illustration showing infection removal, canal filling, and crown placement\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-21dd11c e-con-full e-flex e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"21dd11c\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-313ac25 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-child\" data-id=\"313ac25\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-de219da e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"de219da\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-13ed013 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"13ed013\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Por qu\u00e9 no debe esperar<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5769945 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"5769945\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-09df464 guide-process-left elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"09df464\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>A root canal isn\u2019t just about stopping pain; it\u2019s about stopping infection at its source.
