Root Canal Treatment (RCT) – Save Your Natural Tooth
Root Canal Treatment (RCT) is a specialized dental procedure designed to treat and eliminate infection deep inside a tooth — specifically within the pulp, which contains nerves, blood vessels, and connective tissues. When this inner pulp becomes infected due to deep decay, cracks, trauma, or severe sensitivity, RCT removes the infection and saves your natural tooth from extraction.
Why Is RCT Needed?
You may require Root Canal Treatment if you experience:
- Severe tooth pain while chewing or at rest
- Persistent sensitivity to hot or cold foods
- Swollen or tender gums around the affected tooth
- Darkening/discoloration of the tooth
- A small pimple/abscess on the gums
- Deep cavities or cracked teeth exposing the pulp
How Root Canal Treatment Works
Our root canal process typically includes:
- Comprehensive Examination – Including dental X-rays to assess infection severity.
- Local Anesthesia – Ensures the treatment area is completely numb for a pain-free experience.
- Access Opening – A small opening is made in the tooth to reach the infected pulp.
- Cleaning & Disinfection – Infected tissue and bacteria are carefully removed from the pulp chamber and root canals.
- Filling & Sealing – Canals are filled with a biocompatible material (e.g., gutta-percha) and sealed to prevent reinfection.
- Restoration – Most RCT-treated teeth are restored with a dental crown for strength and normal chewing function.
