Root Canal Treatment (RCT) is a pain-relieving procedure that saves damaged, infected, or decayed teeth by removing the infected pulp, cleaning the canal, and sealing it to prevent further infection. This treatment helps preserve your natural tooth and restores its function.
You may need an RCT if you experience:
✔ Severe Tooth Pain – Persistent pain, especially while chewing.
✔ Sensitivity to Hot & Cold – Lingering discomfort after consuming hot or cold food/drinks.
✔ Swollen or Tender Gums – Indicating possible infection.
✔ Tooth Discoloration – A sign of nerve damage or decay.
✔ Pimple on the Gums – Formation of an abscess due to infection.
1️⃣ Diagnosis & X-ray – Identifying the extent of infection.
2️⃣ Local Anesthesia – Ensuring a pain-free procedure.
3️⃣ Cleaning & Shaping – Removing the infected pulp and disinfecting the canal.
4️⃣ Filling & Sealing – Sealing the tooth with a biocompatible material.
5️⃣ Dental Crown Placement – Protecting and strengthening the treated tooth.
✔ Relieves Pain & Discomfort – Eliminates toothache caused by infection.
✔ Saves Natural Teeth – Avoids the need for extraction.
✔ Prevents Further Infection – Seals the tooth to stop bacteria from spreading.
✔ Restores Chewing Function – Strengthens the tooth for normal use.
✔ Long-Lasting Results – A well-done RCT can last a lifetime with proper care.
