RCT (Root Canal Treatment)

Every tooth contains a root canal housing the tooth's nerve and delicate tissues with blood supply. When the nerve or sensitive pulpal tissue becomes infected, bacteria multiply, causing inflammation. The infection may spread to surrounding tissues and vital organs in rare cases. Side effects include severe toothache (especially at night), hypersensitivity to hot and/or cold temperatures, and gum discomfort with swelling and redness.

Not every damaged tooth can be saved by root canal treatment, and alternative treatments may be more suitable. Your dentist can recommend the best treatment option for you.

The treatment is performed in one or a couple of visits under anaesthesia.

Root canal treatment includes cleaning and shaping of the roots from inside, and disposing of the infected dental pulp-the tooth part made of veins, nerves, and connective tissues. The canal is cleaned of debris, inundated, dried, and then filled with material intended to seal the tooth. The tooth may then have a crown placed on top to improve its solidity. Your dental specialist may also recommend visiting regularly during recovery so they can monitor progress through x-rays.
