Root Canal Treatment (RCT)
If you are experiencing severe tooth pain or infection, Root Canal Treatment (RCT) is a safe and highly effective procedure that helps save your natural tooth. When the inner pulp of the tooth (nerve tissue) becomes infected or damaged, a root canal is required to remove the infection and restore the tooth. During this procedure, the infected pulp is carefully removed, the tooth is cleaned and disinfected, and then sealed to prevent further infection. With modern dental technology, root canal treatment is now quick, comfortable, and virtually pain-free.
Signs You May Need a Root Canal
If you are experiencing any of the following symptoms, you may require RCT:
- Severe tooth pain, especially while chewing
- Prolonged sensitivity to hot and cold
- Swollen, tender, or bleeding gums
- Tooth discoloration
- Pus formation or signs of infection
Root Canal Procedure
Root canal treatment typically requires 1–2 sittings, depending on the severity of the infection:
- Detailed examination and X-ray for accurate diagnosis
- Removal of infected pulp (nerve tissue)
- Thorough cleaning and disinfection of the tooth canal
- Filling and sealing of the canal to prevent reinfection
- Placement of a dental crown (cap) to restore strength and function
