ROOT CANAL
What is Root Canal Treatment (RCT)?
A root canal is a dental procedure used to remove infection from the inside of a tooth. When the nerve of a tooth becomes infected due to deep decay, fracture, or trauma, a root canal helps save the natural tooth.
During the procedure, the dentist removes the infected pulp, cleans and disinfects the canals, and seals the tooth to prevent future infection. This treatment relieves pain, saves the tooth from extraction, and restores normal function.
Benefits of Root Canal Treatment
- Relieves Pain & Infection
A root canal removes the source of severe toothache and treats infection that could spread to other areas. - Saves the Natural Tooth
Instead of removing the tooth, a root canal preserves it, allowing you to chew, bite, and smile normally. - Prevents Further Dental Problems
By removing bacteria and sealing the canals, the risk of reinfection and complications is greatly reduced. - Improves Oral Health
Treating infection early protects nearby teeth, gums, and bone from damage.
