What is a Root Canal?

A root canal is a dental procedure designed to treat infection or damage to the pulp inside a tooth. The pulp contains nerves and blood vessels, and when it becomes infected, it can cause pain and other dental issues.

The Importance of Saving Your Natural Tooth:

Choosing to preserve your natural tooth through root canal treatment offers numerous benefits:

Functionality:
Your teeth play a crucial role in chewing and speaking. Losing a tooth can impact these functions and affect your daily life.

Aesthetics:
A natural smile contributes to your self-esteem and confidence. Preserving your teeth can help you maintain that smile.

Long-Term Health:
Saving your natural teeth prevents future dental issues, such as shifting of adjacent teeth and bone loss, leading to better overall health.

The Procedure:

During RCT, we start by diagnosing the problem and administering anesthesia to ensure your comfort. We then isolate the tooth, clean the root canals, and fill them to prevent further infection. The entire process typically takes one or two visits, depending on the complexity.

Duration and Aftercare
Most root canals can be completed in about 1-2 hours. After the procedure, you may experience some sensitivity, but this can usually be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers. We’ll provide detailed aftercare instructions to ensure a smooth recovery.
