Root Canal Treatment

Relieves pain by cleaning infected pulp and saving the natural tooth

What is Root Canal Treatment?

A tooth’s outer portion, or crown, is made up of three layers: Enamel, Dentin, and Pulp. If decay is limited to the first two layers, it can usually be treated with a dental filling or restoration. However, when the decay reaches the innermost layer—the pulp—and leads to inflammation or infection, it can cause severe pain and sensitivity. In such cases, a Root Canal Treatment (RCT) becomes essential to remove the infected pulp, relieve discomfort, and preserve the natural tooth structure.

What is Root Canal Treatment?

Root Canal Treatment (RCT) is a dental procedure used to treat infection or damage inside a tooth. It is performed when the soft tissue inside the tooth, called the pulp, becomes infected due to decay, cracks, or injury. The goal is to save the natural tooth and eliminate pain.

The procedure involves
  • Removal of inflamed or infected Tooth Material.
  • Cleaning and disinfection.
  • Fill and seal with an inert material.
  • Restoration and crown/cap.
Why does one need to undergo Root Canal Treatment?
  • Root Canal Treatment is necessary to remove the infected pulp and alleviate the associated pain.
  • If the infection in the pulp is not treated promptly, it can lead to a dental abscess. An abscess is a pocket of pus that can cause swelling, severe pain, and damage to the surrounding bone. Root Canal therapy helps to eliminate the infection and prevent the abscess from spreading.
  • Root Canal Treatment becomes necessary when tooth decay progresses to the point where it reaches the pulp. The decayed portion of the tooth is removed, and the canal is cleaned and sealed to prevent further infection.
  • Persistent and intense toothache, especially when chewing or applying pressure, can indicate a problem with the pulp. Root Canal therapy is often recommended to alleviate pain and save the tooth.
  • Deep fractures or cracks in the tooth can expose the pulp to bacteria, leading to infection. Root Canal treatment is necessary to remove the damaged pulp and restore the tooth’s structural integrity
