Root canal treatment is a restorative procedure that treats infected or damaged tooth pulp. The affected tissue is gently removed, the canal system is disinfected and shaped, and sealed securely.
Preserving your natural tooth restores full chewing function and prevents neighboring teeth from shifting or suffering excessive wear over time.
When Is Treatment Needed?
Root canal treatment is recommended when dental pulp becomes irreversibly inflamed due to advanced decay, infection, structural cracks, or direct tooth trauma.
Deep Dental Decay
Dental Infection
Dental Trauma
Cracked Tooth
Bacterial cavities that penetrate through enamel and dentin into the inner pulp chamber require root canal disinfection.
Active bacterial accumulation causing intense throbbing pain, abscesses, or swelling around the tooth roots.
Physical impacts or accidents that compromise nerve vitality even without obvious external tooth damage.
Structural fractures allowing oral bacteria to enter the nerve chamber and cause persistent sensitivity.

Root Canal Treatment
Tooth Extraction
The goal is to clean and seal the inside of the tooth while retaining the natural tooth.
The tooth is removed when it cannot be predictably maintained or when removal is otherwise clinically indicated.
When appropriate, preserving a natural tooth may be considered before extraction.
What does RCT stand for?
Why is root canal treatment done?
RCT stands for Root Canal Treatment.
RCT is performed to treat certain teeth where the dental pulp has become infected, inflamed or damaged.
Can RCT save my tooth?
Is RCT better than extraction?
In appropriately selected cases, root canal treatment can allow a natural tooth to be retained and restored. Suitability depends on the condition of the tooth.
RCT and extraction are different treatment approaches
