Root Canal Treatment (RCT)
What Is Root Canal Treatment?
Root Canal Treatment (RCT) is a dental procedure used to save a damaged or infected tooth instead of removing it.
It involves cleaning and sealing the inner part of the tooth (called the pulp) to remove infection, relieve pain, and restore the tooth’s natural function.
At The Right Dentist, we use advanced, pain free techniques and modern rotary systems to ensure your treatment is comfortable, precise, and long lasting.
When Do You Need a Root Canal?
You may need an RCT if you experience:
- Severe toothache or pain while chewing
- Sensitivity to hot or cold food
- Swelling or pus near the gums
- Deep decay or cracks in the tooth/li>
- Darkening or discoloration of a tooth
How the Treatment Works?
- Diagnosis & X-Ray: Your dentist examines the affected tooth and takes an X-ray to assess the extent of infection.
- Local Anesthesia: The tooth and surrounding area are completely numbed for a painless experience.
- Cleaning the Root Canals: The infected pulp is carefully removed, and the inner canals are cleaned and disinfected.
- Filling & Sealing: The cleaned canals are filled with a special material to prevent reinfection.
- Crown Placement: A dental crown is placed over the treated tooth to restore strength, shape, and natural appearance.
