Root Canal Treatment (RCT): What You Need to Know

Root canal treatment (RCT) is a procedure designed to treat infections or damage within the tooth’s root. This process involves removing infected or damaged tissue from the root canal, thoroughly cleaning the area, then filling and sealing it to prevent further infection.

Why Is Root Canal Treatment Necessary?

Root canal treatment is required when a tooth’s root becomes infected or damaged, causing pain or swelling. This infection can result from severe tooth decay, trauma, or deep cavities. If left untreated, the infection may spread to surrounding tissues, leading to more serious health complications. Additionally, root canal therapy helps remove the infected nerve, eliminating the pain caused by the infection.

Benefits of Root Canal Treatment

- Preserves the natural tooth, preventing the need for extraction.

- Restores normal function, allowing the treated tooth to work like a healthy one.

- Prevents infection from spreading to nearby teeth and tissues.

- Maintains overall oral health by eliminating sources of persistent infection.

- A Long-Term Solution for Tooth Infections

Root canal treatment is an effective solution for treating root infections and maintaining oral health. By undergoing this procedure, the risk of further complications is significantly reduced while ensuring both functionality and aesthetics of the tooth.
