A Root Canal Treatment (RCT) is a dental procedure used to save a badly
decayed, infected, or damaged tooth instead of
removing it.
It involves removing the infected pulp (the soft tissue inside the tooth),
cleaning and disinfecting the inside of the
tooth, and sealing it to prevent future infections.
Root canal treatments relieve pain, stop the spread of infection, and
restore the tooth’s function and appearance.
Deep tooth decay reaching the
pulp
Cracks or chips exposing the inner part of
the tooth
Repeated dental procedures on the same
tooth
Injury or trauma causing internal tooth
damage
Severe tooth pain, sensitivity to hot and
cold, swelling, or darkening of
the
tooth
Note:- Without treatment, infection can spread and may
lead to tooth loss or an
abscess
(serious gum infection).
