Root Canal Treatment – Save Your Natural Tooth A Root Canal Treatment (RCT) is a safe and effective dental procedure used to treat infected or severely damaged tooth pulp. Instead of removing the tooth, RCT eliminates the infection, relieves pain, and restores the tooth's strength and function. Modern root canal procedures are virtually painless and help preserve your natural smile for years. When Do You Need a Root Canal? Your dentist may recommend a root canal if you experience: Severe or persistent toothache Sensitivity to hot or cold that lasts after the stimulus is removed Swollen or tender gums around a tooth Tooth discoloration Pain while chewing or biting A pimple-like swelling on the gums Deep decay or a cracked tooth causing infection Early diagnosis and treatment can prevent the infection from spreading and save the tooth. The Root Canal Procedure The treatment is usually completed in one or two visits and involves the following steps: Examination & Digital X-ray: The dentist evaluates the affected tooth and determines the extent of infection. Local Anesthesia: The area is numbed to ensure a comfortable, pain-free procedure. Cleaning the Root Canals: The infected pulp is carefully removed, and the canals are disinfected. Filling & Sealing: The cleaned canals are filled with a biocompatible material and sealed to prevent reinfection. Tooth Restoration: A dental crown is often recommended to strengthen and protect the treated tooth.
