Root Canal Treatment

Root Canal Treatment (RCT) is a dental procedure used to treat infections or severe damage in the pulp (the soft tissue inside the tooth). It helps save the natural tooth by removing the infected pulp, cleaning and disinfecting the inside of the tooth, and sealing it to prevent further damage.

When is Root Canal Treatment Needed?

You may require a root canal if you experience:

• Severe toothache when chewing or applying pressure
• Prolonged sensitivity to hot or cold
• Swelling or tenderness in nearby gums
• Dark discoloration of the tooth
• A recurring pimple on the gum (indicating an abscess)

Benefits of Root Canal Treatment:

• Saves the natural tooth
• Relieves pain and infection
• Restores normal chewing and biting function
• Prevents the spread of infection to surrounding teeth

Modern root canal treatments are typically painless and highly successful. They offer long-lasting results and ensure that patients can preserve their natural teeth for years to come.
