Root Canal Treatment (RCT)

📌 What is a Root Canal?

A Root Canal Treatment is a dental procedure used to treat infection or damage in the pulp (the soft inner tissue) of a tooth. Instead of removing the tooth, the infected pulp is removed, the inside is cleaned and disinfected, and the tooth is sealed.
Root Canal Treatment (RCT) is a dental procedure used to save a severely decayed or infected tooth by removing the damaged pulp (the soft tissue inside the tooth that contains nerves and blood vessels). When a tooth becomes infected due to deep decay, trauma, or a cracked filling, the pulp can become inflamed or die, leading to severe pain, swelling, or abscess. RCT is performed to clean out the infection, disinfect the root canals, and seal the space, allowing the natural tooth to be preserved rather than extracted. Modern root canal procedures are safe, highly effective, and much more comfortable than in the past.
