Root Canal Treatment (RCT)

Root Canal Treatment (RCT)

Restoring Dental Health and Saving Teeth

In a Root Canal Treatment (RCT), our skilled dental team performs a specialized procedure to treat and save severely damaged or infected teeth. We remove the infected tissue, clean the root canals, and seal the tooth, preventing further infection. After that, our skilled dental team utilizes advanced techniques and modern technology to ensure a comfortable and successful RCT experience for our patients.

Benefits of Root Canal Treatment

  1. Pain Relief: RCT alleviates severe toothache caused by infection or inflammation within the tooth’s pulp. By removing the infected tissue and relieving pressure, RCT provides immediate pain relief.

  2. Preservation of Natural Teeth: RCT aims to save your natural tooth by treating the underlying infection or inflammation. Preserving your natural tooth is important for maintaining proper oral function, aesthetics, and preventing the need for extraction.

  3. Restoration of Oral Health: By eliminating the infection, RCT prevents the spread of bacteria and further damage to surrounding teeth and gums. It helps restore your oral health and prevents complications such as abscesses and bone loss.

  4. Improved Chewing and Speaking: RCT restores normal chewing and speaking by removing infected tissue and restoring the tooth, eliminating discomfort or pain.

  5. Aesthetic Enhancement: After RCT, our dental team will place a dental crown or other restoration to protect and strengthen the treated tooth. This improves the tooth’s appearance, ensuring a seamless blend with your natural smile.

The Root Canal Treatment Process

  1. Examination and Diagnosis: We will examine the tooth, perform tests, and use X-rays to determine if RCT is necessary. They will discuss the treatment plan and address any concerns or questions you may have.

  2. Anesthesia and Access: The dentist administers local anesthesia to ensure a painless procedure during RCT. The dentist creates a small access opening in the tooth to reach the infected pulp.

  3. Removal of Infected Tissue: We carefully remove the infected pulp from the tooth’s root canals using specialized instruments, ensuring thorough cleaning and disinfection.

  4. Filling and Sealing: We fill the cleaned root canals with a biocompatible material called gutta-percha to seal the tooth and prevent reinfection. The access opening is then sealed with a temporary or permanent restoration.

  5. Restoration: In most cases, a dental crown is placed on the treated tooth to provide strength, protection, and an aesthetically pleasing appearance. The dental crown restores the tooth’s function and appearance.
