Root Canal Treatment

Root Canal Treatment (RCT) is a dental procedure designed to treat a tooth that has a damaged or infected pulp, the innermost part of the tooth containing nerves and blood vessels. Despite its reputation, a root canal is a common and highly effective way to save a tooth and alleviate pain. In this guide, we will explore the purpose, procedure, and aftercare of Root Canal Treatment.

The primary goal of a root canal is to save a severely damaged or infected tooth. When the pulp becomes infected or inflamed due to deep decay, repeated dental procedures, or trauma, it can cause severe pain and lead to the formation of abscesses. By removing the infected or damaged pulp, the dentist can preserve the tooth’s structure and prevent the spread of infection.
