Root Canal Treatment (RCT) is a dental procedure used to treat infection or damage within the soft core (pulp) of a tooth. Instead of removing the tooth, the infected pulp is carefully cleaned, disinfected, and sealed to preserve the natural structure.
When is RCT Needed? – Common Causes:
Deep tooth decay or untreated cavities
Cracked, chipped, or injured teeth
Repeated dental procedures on the same tooth
Severe gum disease or abscess formation
Signs You Might Need an RCT – Symptoms:
Persistent toothache or throbbing pain
Sensitivity to hot or cold, even after removal
Swelling or tenderness in the gums
Darkening or discoloration of the tooth
Pus or pimple-like bump near the tooth
The RCT Procedure – What to Expect:
Local anesthesia is applied for comfort
The infected pulp is removed
The inner area is cleaned and shaped
The canal is filled and sealed
A crown may be placed for protection and strength
How to Prevent Root Canal Issues:
Maintain good oral hygiene (brush twice, floss daily)
Get regular dental checkups and cleanings
Avoid excessive sugary foods and drinks
Don’t ignore tooth pain or sensitivity
Use a mouthguard if you grind your teeth or play contact sports
