What is Root Canal Treatment?
Root Canal Treatment (RCT) is a dental procedure used to save a severely damaged or infected tooth. Inside every tooth, there is a soft tissue called the pulp, which contains nerves and blood vessels. When this pulp gets infected due to deep decay, cracks, or injury, it can cause severe pain and swelling. RCT removes the infected pulp and protects the tooth from further damage.
Why is Root Canal Needed?
You may need a root canal if you experience:
- Severe toothache, especially while chewing
- Sensitivity to hot or cold that lasts long
- Swelling or pus around the gums
- Darkening of the tooth
- Infection spreading to surrounding tissues
RCT helps in:
- Saving your natural tooth
- Preventing infection from spreading
- Restoring normal chewing function
- Avoiding tooth extraction
