What is a Root Canal Treatment (RCT)?

A Root Canal Treatment (RCT) is a dental procedure used to treat infections at the center of a tooth. It becomes necessary when the pulp inside the tooth is infected due to deep decay, repeated dental work, or fractures.

Why is RCT Necessary?

When left untreated, an infected pulp can cause severe pain, abscess formation, and further complications. RCT saves the tooth, relieves pain, and prevents infection from spreading.

The RCT Procedure

1. Diagnosis & X-ray: Determines the extent of infection.
2. Anesthesia: Local anesthesia numbs the affected area.
3. Pulpectomy: Removal of the infected pulp.
4. Cleaning & Shaping: The root canals are disinfected.
5. Filling & Sealing: The canals are filled with gutta-percha.
6. Restoration: A crown or filling is placed for protection.

Post-Treatment Care

• Pain Management: Mild discomfort is common; use pain relievers.
• Oral Hygiene: Brush and floss regularly.
• Follow-Ups: Attend all scheduled visits for proper healing.

Benefits of RCT

• Pain Relief: Eliminates the source of infection.
• Tooth Preservation: Saves the natural tooth.
• Aesthetic Restoration: Restores function and appearance.
• Stops Infection: Prevents further complications.
